Question

Jimmy and his friends went to dinner at

Bananabee's restaurant. Their bill came-
to $123.50. They decided to leave a 15%
tip. How much will the total be including
the tip?

Answer 1

So, to find 15% of $123.50, you would have to multiply 123.50 x 0.15. 123.50 x 0.15 = 18.525. Round 18.525 to the nearest hundredth, =$18.53. Now add the tip to the total, $18.53 + $123.50 = $142.03. The total including the tip is $142.03.

Answer 2

To calculate the total bill including a 15% tip, you can use the following formula:

Total Bill = Bill Amount + Tip

Given:
Bill Amount = $123.50
Tip Percentage = 15% (or 0.15 as a decimal)

Now, calculate the tip amount:

Tip = Bill Amount * Tip Percentage
Tip = $123.50 * 0.15
Tip = $18.525

Now, add the tip to the bill amount to find the total bill:

Total Bill = $123.50 + $18.525
Total Bill = $142.025

So, the total bill including the 15% tip will be $142.03 (rounded to the nearest cent).
