Question

HELP please

David goes to LongHorn with his friend Alice. Their bill comes out to be $45.90. They decide to tip the waiter 25%. What is their total amount they leave?

Answer 1

57.38

Explanation:

percent means per one hundred, or 1/100.

25%=25/100

45.90 times 25/100= 11.475

Since money doesn't have a thousandthes digit, I just rounded it up to 11.48.

11.48+45.90=57.38

Another way you could do it would be to just mutiply 45.90 by 125/100 to get 57.375, which rounds to 57.38.

Answer 2

$57.38

Explanation:

The total bill is $45.90.

They decided to tip the waiter 25%.

Therefore, the total amount they leave will be the total bill plus the amount they will tip.

They amount they tipped is 25% of the total bill. Therefore, the tip is 0.25(45.9) or approximately $11.48 (rounded up).

So, the amount they will leave is the original amount plus the tip. So, in total, they left:

$45.90+$11.48 or $57.38
