Question

Betty took her two daughters out to lunch. Betty's meal was $15.50

and her daughter's meals were $13.45 and $16.75. If Betty is going
to leave a 20% tip, what is the total amount of the meal?

Answer 1

$9.14

Explanation:

$15.50 + $13.45 + $16.75 = $45.70

x 20%

45.70 100% Cross multiply

45.70 x 20 = 914

914 divided by 100 = 9.14

Answer 2

15.50+13.45+16.75=45.70
(45.70/100)*20=9.14
45.70+9.14=54.84
The total meal is $54.84.
