Answer 1

Total cost of meal is $60

Explanation:

The cost of meal = $50

Tip = 20%

We need to find total cost of meal

First find 20% of 50 to get the amount given for tip

`20\% \:of\: 50\\=(20)/(100)* 50\\=10`

So, tip given is $10

Total cost of meal = 50+10 = $60

So, total cost of meal is $60
