Question

At restaurants waiters typically receive tips that average 15% of the customer’s bill. At this rate, which of the following is the closest to the trip the waiter can expect to receive if the bill was $84.63?

A) $1.27
B) $12.69
C)$97.32

Answer 1

B $12.69

Explanation:

Divide 84.63 by 100 to get 1% of the bill and then multiply the answer by 15 for 15% and round it:

`$(84.63)/(100) * 15 = 12.6945$`

The closest answer would be B $12.69.
