Question

Charissa is eating out with friends, and it is her turn to pay the gratuity. The bill for the food is $26.50. If she plans to tip at 20%, what should she pay if she doesn’t want to leave pennies on the table? PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

26.50 × 20%
= 26.50 × 0.2
= 5.30
26.50 + 5.30
= 31.80
since charissa doesnt want to leave coins/pennies on the table, you would round it up.
31.80 would then epual 32.00 due to the tenths being above 5 (an 8)
