Question

Find the total cost to the nearest cent. $58 bill; 20% tip

Answer 1

Answer:

$69.60

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $58 is $11.60. So you add $11.60 + 58 which equals $69.60, so that is the total cost.

Answer 2

Answer:

$69.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired amount (total cost) is equivalent to the sum of the bill and 20% of the bill, or, equivalently, 120% of the bill.

1.20($58) = $69.60

The total cost is $69.60, including a 20% tip.
