Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00. Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by m

oving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get $4.60 + $4.60 = $9.20 for the 15% gratuity.”

Tess is correct about figuring 10% but he added 2 of them together which is like adding 10% +10% which is 20% not 15%.

 he should have taken 1/2 of the 4.60 for 5% since 5 is half of 10

 half of 4.60 = 2.30

then add that to the 4.60

4.60 +2.30 = 6.90 is 15%

miss Akunina [59]
Bella can cut about 24 pieces because you have to divide 85 feet by 3.5 feet to find out how many pieces which is 24.285 and so on but you just round to 24.
