Question

Jack was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. His dinner came to $14. He wanted to leave a 31% tip. How much was his meal plus the tip, before tax, in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tip was $4.45 and the total of the bill and tip is $18.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1) turn percent into decimal

$=31$ ÷ $100$

$=0.31$

2) multiply decimal by original cost to find how much to tip

$=14$ × $0.31$

$=4.34$

3) add costs together

$=14+4.34$

= $18.34
