Question

Suppose you go to dinner with 3 other friends and spend $80.03. If the group wants to the tip 16%, then find the amount of the tip. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the 16% of 80.03. To do that we will use the following relationship:

$80.03\times\frac{16}{100}$

Solving the operations we get:

$80.03\times\frac{16}{100}=12.80$

Therefore, the tip must be $12.80
