Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is A: $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The question should be:

"The bill at the restaurant was $18.79 estimate the amount to leave as a 10% tip. A. $2.00 B. $3.00 C. $9.00 D. $21.00"

The general case is:

When we have a quantity A (where A is the 100%) the X% of A is:

(X%/100%)*A

In this problem, we have a bill of $18,79 and we want to leave a 10% tip.

Then $18,79 is the 100% we want to see how much is the 10% of $18,79

If we use the above equation we get:

Tip = (10%/100%)*$18,79 = $1,879

The option that approaches the best to this amount is option A, $2.00

Then the tip should be $2

The correct option is A.
