Question

You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $23. If you want to leave a 17% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the percentage to get it into decimal form.

$\frac{17}{100}$ = $.17$

Then, multiply the total by .17.

$23$ x $.17$ = $3.91$

Last, add the total and the tip together.

$23+3.91=26.91$

Answer 2

Answer:

$26.91

Step-by-step explanation:

total = 23

to find 17% percent of 23, change 17% to a decimal

17%....0.17

multiple 0.17 times 23

= 3.91

The tip is $3.19

if you add that to 23, it'll be $26.91
