Answer 1

Given:

Total price of dinner = 48

They tipped the server 20 % of that amount.

To find:

The amount of tip.

Solution:

According to the question,

Amount of tip = 20 % of Total price of dinner

Total price of dinner = 48

$\text{Amount of tip}=\dfrac{20}{100}\times 48$

$\text{Amount of tip}=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 48$

$\text{Amount of tip}=\dfrac{48}{5}$

$\text{Amount of tip}=9.6$

Therefore, the amount of tip is 9.6.
