Question

Jamie went to dinner. Her meal cost $12.40. She wanted to leave a 15%

tip. How much was her tip?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is $1.86. Hope this helps! c:

Explanation:

First, convert 15% to a decimal.

15% / 100 = 0.15

Then, multiply.

0.15 * 12.40 = $1.86

Since 15% of 12.40 is $1.86, then Jamie left a $1.86 tip.

Answer 2

Answer: 12.40x15/100+12.40
= 1.860+12.40
= 14.26
