Question

The restaurant bill for Annette is $55.82.

She adds an 18% tip for the waiter.

What is the total cost of Annette's meal rounded to the nearest cent?

pls answer seriously, I'm failing this class its so hard for me :(

Answer 1

first we have to find 18% of $55.82, which we can do by using the equation 55.82 x 0.18

55.82 x 0.18 = 10.05

so the tip = $10.05

now we just add it to the original bill
55.82 + 10.05 = 65.87

so the total cost = $65.87
