Question

You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $23. If you want to leave a 17% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

$26.91

Explanation:

total = 23

to find 17% percent of 23, change 17% to a decimal

17%....0.17

multiple 0.17 times 23

= 3.91

The tip is $3.19

if you add that to 23, it'll be $26.91

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

Divide the percentage to get it into decimal form.

`(17)/(100)` =
`.17`

Then, multiply the total by .17.

`23` x
`.17` =
`3.91`

Last, add the total and the tip together.

`23+3.91=26.91`
