A reasonable tip would be $5.00

Rosita paid $27.08 an wants to tip a whole dollar closest to 20%.

The first step is therefore to find out 20% of $27.08.

= 20% x 27.08

= $5.42

The closest whole dollar depends on the first decimal point.

If it is 5 and above, the tip would be $5 as we would round down.

If it is 4 and below, the tip would be $6 as we would round up.

The first decimal is 4 so we would round down to $5.00

The tip would therefore be $5.00
