Question

Frank and Linda just finished a meal and received their bill for $47.60. They would like to leave their server a 20 percent tip. Which expression could be used to find the total bill including gratuity?

Answer 1

Answer: Required expression would be 47.60(1.20).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount for bill = $47.60

Percentage of tip = 20%

Amount of tip would be

$\dfrac{20}{100}\times 47.60\\\\=0.2\times 47.60\\\\=\ 9.52$

So,Total bill including gratuity would be

$\ 47.60+\ 9.52\\\\= 57.12$

So, our required total bill including gratuity would be

$47.60(1+0.20)\\\\=47.60(1.20)$

Answer 2

47.60 + 0.20(47.60) = 47.60 + 9.52 = 57.12

OR

47.60(1.20) = 57.12
