Question

Aubrey’s dinner cost $85. She tips the waitstaff 30% for excellent service. How much does Aubrey tip the waitstaff?

Answer 1

Answer:

She gave the tip of $ 25.50 to the waitstaff.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of dinner = $ 85,

Also, the percentage of tip she gave = 30%,

Hence, the amount of the tip she paid = 30% of the cost of dinner

= 30% of 85

$=\frac{30\times 85}{100}$

$=\frac{2550}{100}$

$=\ 25.50$

Answer 2

85*0.3=25.5

She tipped the waitstaff $25.50
