Question

Kaleb goes out to Chili's and orders a cheeseburger, fries, soda, and chocolate brownie. His total comes to $27.75. He wants to leave his server a 20% tip. How much tip will his server receive?

Answer 1

Kaleb's server will get a tip of $5.55.

Explanation:

In order to find the 20% tip. We must calculate 20% of $27.75.

In other words, $27.75 is the full amount, or total of the order. We can also consider this 100% of the required amount.

So, we need to find 20% of $27.75.

27.75 x 0.20 = $5.55 (which is 20% of 27.75)

Therefore, Kaleb's server will get a tip of $5.55.

Hope this helps! :)
