Question

Diners frequently add a 15% tip when sharing a meal to a credit card. what is the total amount charged if the cost of the meal, without tip, is 45

Answer 1

this comes to 1.15 * 45

= 51.75

Answer 2

51.75

Explanation:

Given,

The cost of the meal without tip = 45,

Since, the percentage of tip = 15%,

So, the amount of tip = 15% of the cost of meal without tip

= 15% of 45

`=(15* 45)/(100)`

`=(675)/(100)`

= 6.75

Hence, the total cost of the meal = cost without tip + amount of the tip

= 45 + 6.75

= 51.75
