Question

Zane took Jessica to dinner. The check was $31.23. They left a tip of 25% the total check. How much was the total cost of the dinner (including tip)?

Answer 1

The answer is 39.0375 but rounded to dollars and cents it would be $39.04 including a 25% tip.

Answer 2

Answer: $39.0375

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Amount for Dinner = $31.23
Tip Rate = 25%
Total Amount = ?

Therefore,
= (25/100 * 31.23) + 31.23
= (780.75/100) + 31.23
= 7.8075 + 31.23
=> 39.0375

Total Amount = $39.0375 or $39.04
