Question

Miko’s restaurant bill was $16. She used the expression 1.18(16) to find the total cost including an 18% tip.

Answer 1

we have that

the expression to find the total cost is equal to

$1.18(16)$

we know that

$1.18=(1+0.18)$

substitute in the expression above

$1.18(16)=(1+0.18)16$

Applying property distributive

$(1+0.18)16=(1)*16+(0.18)*16=16+0.18*(16)$

therefore

the answer is the option

$16+0.18(16)$

Answer 2

The answer is (1+0.18)16.
