Question

The bill for dinner at a restaurant was $58.00. If you want to tip the waiter 15%, how much of a tip will he receive?

Answer 1

$8.70

Explanation:

the waiter will receive $8.70.

so in this equation you want to find out how much the waiter is going to receive in the bill for a tip so your going to multiply the initial bill by the percentage of 15% to get your tip:

58 * 0.15

the reason we have made the percentage a decimal is because it is easier to calculate in a decimal than a percentage when we're doing money. you could make a percentage a fraction but lets not go into that.

58 * 0.15 = 8.7

now convert your answer into money:

the waiter will receive $8.70 out of the $58.00

Hope this helps
