Question

if their original bill is $15.50 what will be the final bill after paying a 15% tip round to the nearest cent

Answer 1

we have:

$15.50 -----> 100%

x --------------> 15%

then

$\begin{gathered} x\times100=15.50\times15 \\ x=15.50\times\frac{15}{100} \\ x=15.50\times0.15 \\ x=2.325 \end{gathered}$

so,

$15.50+2.325=17.83$

answer: $ 17.83 is the final bill
