Question

Geneva treated her parents to dinner at their favorite restaurant. The bill was $73.25. She wants to leave 24% of the total bill as a tip. How much should the tip be, in dollars?

Answer 1

To calculate the tip, we first need to find 24% of the total bill. To do this, we can multiply the bill amount by 24% (expressed as a decimal).

Tip = 0.24 * 73.25

= 17.58

Therefore, the tip should be $17.58 in dollars.
