Question

At a restaurant, the bill comes to $20. You decide to leave a 16% tip. How much did you leave for the tip?

Answer 1

To find the tip, you will need to calculate 16% of the bill.

We have that the bill is $20. Then, we can proceed as follows:

$n\%=\frac{n}{100}\Rightarrow16\%=\frac{16}{100}\Rightarrow\ 20\cdot\frac{16}{100}=\frac{\ 20\cdot16}{100}$

Therefore, we have:

$\text{Tip}=\frac{\ 320}{100}\Rightarrow Tip=\ 3.20$

In summary, you will leave $3.20 for the tip.
