Answer:

$14.69

Explanation:

To start with, convert the 18% to a genuine number that can be utilized in a figuring. For percent, this is constantly done by essentially isolating the percent (for this situation 18%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "18%" gets 18%/100% = 0.18 regarding a genuine numerical number.

Second, you have to discover what 18% of your $81.50 feast cost is.This is constantly done by duplicating 0.18 by $81.50, or

0.18 x $81.50=$14.69.

Thus, the measure of tip you will leave is $14.69.

This makes the absolute expense of your supper (to compose on your charge slip or other installment)
