Question

For a party of 8 or more, some restaurants add an 18% tip on the bill. What is the total amount charged for a party of 10 if the cost of the meal, without tip, is $205? So far I have 205 x 1.18 which gives me the answer but I don’t know how to get the 1.18 can someone explain please?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount charged with tip is $241.90   or  $242(approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Some restaurants add an 18% tip on the bill, a party of 10 has cost of the meal, without tip, is $205.

Now, to find the total amount charged with tip.

According to question:

Bill +  Tip

$205 + 18% of $205

$205+\frac{18}{100}\times 205$

$=205+0.18\times 205$

$=205+36.90$

$=241.90$

So, the bill is $241.90.

Therefore, the total amount charged with tip is $241.90 or $242(approximately).
