Question

You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $63. If you want to leave an 18% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

Answer:

$74.3$ is the total amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in this problem is to figure out how much of a tip was left. To find that out, you need to multiply the percentage by the total of the meal.

$63 * .18 = 11.34$

We know that 11.34 was how much of a tip that was left,

To figure out the total amount that was spent, you would add the total amount and the tip.

$63 + 11.34 = 74.34$
