Question

A restaurant bill is $25, and a 20 percent tip should be given to the waiter. Which expression can be used to find the total amount that will be paid?A. 25 × 0.02B. 25 × 0.20C. 25 × 1.20D. 25 × 2.00

Answer 1

20% percent can be written as:

$\frac{20}{100}=.2$

Then, to find the amount we have to pay in total we add to 1 the tip .2 and multiply by the bill, that is:

$25\times1.2$

Therefore, the answer is C.
