Answer:

$6

Explanation:

Ok, first thing is first, we need to find what 20% of 30 is. We do that by setting 20% in decimal form and multiplying that by 30.

So first,

0.20 * 30

We cross out the zero in 30 and move the decimal point one spot to the right in 0.20. So now we have:

= 2.0 * 3

Which really is,

= 2 * 3

Which equals,

6

Or,

$6

Yes! We got our answer! Nice work!

(The total bill including the tip would be $36 in case you needed to know)
