Question

Your family’s meal at a restaurant costs $42.00. If you leave a tip of 20%, what will be the total cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 50.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$As\ we\ given,\\Actual\ cost\ for\ the\ family\ meal= \ 42\\Additional\ cost\ percent\ to\ the\ meal\ as\ the\ tip=20 \%\\We\ know\ that,\\Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip= Cost\ percent\ of\ the\ tip* Actual\ price\\ of\ the\ meal\\Hence\ by\ substituting\ the\ values,\\Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip=20 \%*42\\Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip=\frac{20}{100} *42\\Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip=\frac{1}{5}*42\\Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip=\ 8.4$

$Hence,\\Total\ Cost\ of\ the\ dine=Additional\ Cost\ for\ the\ tip+Actual\ Cost\ of\\ the\ meal\\Hence,\\Total\ Cost\ of\ the\ dine=42+8.4=\ 50.4$
