Question

A restaurant bill is $25, and a 20 percent tip should be given to the waiter. Which expression can be used to find the total amount that will be paid?

25 dollars times 0.02

25 dollars times 0.20

25 dollars times 1.20

25 dollars times 2.00

Answer 1

B. 25 dollars times 0.20

Explanation:

When finding the percentage, you shift the percentage you want two places to the right. In our case we have 20.00, so shifting the 20 two places to the right would give us 0.20.

Hope this helps!
