Question

Your parents took your family out to dinner . Your parents wanted to give the waiter a 15% tip. If the total amount of the dinner was $42.00, what should be paid to the waiter as a tip?

Answer 1

15% = 0.15

multiply the bill ( 42.00) by 0.15 for the amount of tip

42.00 * 0.15 = 6.30

 the tip = $6.30

Answer 2

15% of 42$ is $6.30.
