Question

Thom’s restaurant bill is $45 and he leaves a 20 percent tip. What is the total cost for Thom’s meal?

$20
$54
$65
$90

Answer 1

$54

Explanation:

`(x)/(45) = (20)/(100)`

To get x which is the 20% tip

1. 45×20 = 900

2. 900÷100=9

3. 9 is the tip

To get the total cost, you would have to add $9 to $45 which is $54.
