Question

The Smith family went to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings. The bill was $43.86. They gave the server a 20% tip. How much did they pay altogether?

Answer 1

52.63

To find the altogether cost of the meal including tip you need to multiply the bill ($43.86) by 1.20

43.86(1.2) = 52.632

Same would go for if you were leaving a 10% tip but you would multiply by 1.10

Answer 2

$52.63

Explanation:

To find 20% of $43.86 we multiply $43.86 by 0.2

$43.86 • 0.2 = $8.772

Now add $43.86 and $8.772 to find out how much the family paid altogether.

$43.86 + $8.772 = $52.632

In money the smallest place value is cents so we have to round to the hundredths place.

Doing this we get the grand answer of:

$52.63
