Question

Which of the following expressions represent 15% tip on a $20 meal? Which represents the total bill? **Select all that apply**. Explain your reasoning for the choices you select.

A.) 1520
B.) 20+0.1520
C.) 1.1520
D.) 1510020

Answer 1

15/100 * 20, because the meal is 20 dollars and to find the percent of something you divide it with 100 so you will divide 15 with 100 and you’ll get 0.15. Then you will times it with the amount the meal cost because thats the charge. So 0.15•20 and you’ll get $3. A 15% tip for a $20 meal is $3.
