Answer:
<em>$86.25</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to calculate 15% of $75, and then add it to $75.
To find a percent of a number, change the percent to a decimal and multiply by the number. To change a percent to a decimal, divide the percent by 100, which the same as moving the decimal point of the percent two places left.
For example, 15% = 15/100 = 0.15 (by dividing 15 by 100).
15% = 0.15 (by moving the decimal point of 15 two places to the left).
Now back to the problem. First, we find 15% of $75.
15% of $75 =
= 15% * $75
= 0.15 * $75
= $11.25
The tip of 15% of $75 was $11.25.
The total amount spent is the bill total, $75, plus the $11.25 tip.
Total spent = $75 + $11.25 = $86.25
