79 x .17 = 13.43 (tip)
79 + 13.43 = 92.43 (total)

Answer:

$92.43

Explanation:

Original value of money paid is $79

Tip is 17% of $79 = $13.43

Total is the original value + the tip

79 x 0.17(this is because 17% is the same as 17/100 If you turn this to a decimal you get 0.17) = $13.43

Total = $13.43 + $79

$92.43 the 43 cents are whole so there is no need to round off.
