Question

Sarah's meal cost $28.80 without tip. How much will she pay including 25%tip?A.$32.00B.$33.00C. $36.00D. $38.00

Answer 1

The total cost of the meal is the sum of the $28.80 without tip and the 25% of that cost (multiply 28.80 by 0.25 to find the 25%):

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total cost}=28.80+28.80(0.25) \\ \text{Total cost}=28.80+7.2 \\ \text{Total cost}=36 \end{gathered}$

Then, the total cost is $36.00
