Question

Bobby delivers newspapers in his neighborhood. In addition to a weekly salary, he earns tips from the people he delivers to. If he delivers $200 worth of papers each week and earns 17% in tips, how much does he make from tips each week?

Answer 1

17% gets turned into .17, so we can multiply. You have to multiply because he earns 17% of tips.

17% of 200 is 34
200×.17=34
=$34 in tips

Answer 2

200*0.17=answer
34$ he will make each week off of tips.
