Jack’s bill at a restaurant came to $52.31. He wants to leave a 15% tip. How much will the new total be, including tip?

Answer 1

Answer: the new total is-£39.90 and the tip is £12.41

Explanation:

15% of £52.31

10% is £26.15

5% is £13.75

add them both together which will be £39.90 and then you keep that but for the tip you need to take £39.90 from £52.31 and that will be £12.41.

Answer 2

The new bill would be $60.16.

You multiply the actual bill by the tip percentage but with a 1 in front of the percent so in this problem it would 1.15 multiplied with 52.31 and you get the answer.
