Answer 1

`16\% = .16` then multiply by 500 and she gives them a tip of $80

Answer 2

$80

Explanation:

We have been given that the moving company charged $500 for its services, and Mia gives the movers a 16% tip. We are asked to find the amount of tip.

The amount of tip Mia gave to the movers would be 16% of 500.

`\text{Amount of tip}=\$500* (16)/(100)\\\\\text{Amount of tip}=\$5* 16\\\\\text{Amount of tip}=\$80`

Therefore, Mia gave an amount of $80 as tip to the movers.
