Question

Carmen and Ted went to a restaurant for lunch. The total bill was $24.80. If they tipped the waiter 15% of the bill, which of these statements is true?

F) The tip was less than $3.00.
G) The tip was between $3.00 and $3.50. H) The tip was between $3.50 and $4.00.
J) The tip was more than $4.00.​

Answer 1

H) The tip was between $3.50 and $4.00.

Explanation:

To find the amount of the tip, we need to calculate 15% of the total bill.

15% of $24.80 = 0.15 * $24.80 = $3.72

The tip is $3.72. Therefore, statement H) "The tip was between $3.50 and $4.00" is true.
