Question

You want to leave a nice tip on a $36 meal. So you decide to add 20% to the bill. How much is the total bill?

Answer 1

You went to have a meal which costs $36, and maybe becoming very delighted with the taste and service of the food centre, you decided to add a tip.

• 
  `20\%` of the total meal.

So, First we need to find the tip by multiplying the percentage with the cost of meal

Tip:

`20\% \: of \: 36`

`(20)/(100) * 36`

`(1)/(5) * 36`

`7.2`

Now, we have got the amount of money we decided to give as a tip. And, we are already having the cost of meal. So, total money paid:

`36 + 7.2`

`\boxed{ 43.2}`

This is our required answer.
