Question

You spent 87.70 and you want to leave a 20% tip. How much would the tip be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

17.54  If i can get brainliest that would be great

Step-by-step explanation:

to help you next time:

You can find 10% of your bill by moving the decimal one place to the left.  If 26.50 is 100% then 10% is 2.65.  Since 20% is 2 times 10%, 20% of the bill is 2.65 + 2.65 = 5.30.  Now you know the tip you could leave ranging from poor to good, $2.65 to $5.30.  To find 15%, halfway in between, we know 15% is 10% plus 1/2 of 10% (5%).  2.65 plus about 1.30 is 3.95.

Now you have

10% is 2.65 - by moving decimal 1 place left

15% is 3.95 - 10% + 1/2 of 10%

20% is 5.30 - 10% * 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$17.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100

20/100 = 0.2

Then multiply it by the cost

87.70(0.2) = 17.54
