Answer:
The total cost of the meal including tip is $55.80.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the meal = $46.50
tip = 20%
total cost = ?
Finding the tip cost:
20% of cost of the meal is equal to the tip cost.
20% of 46.50
(% = 1/100 and of means multiplication)
20/100 * 46.50
930/100
$9.30
20% tip = $9.30
Finding total cost:
Cost of the meal + tip
46.50 + 9.30
55.80
The total cost of the meal including tip is $55.80.
