uuummm i need this answer too actually

Explanation:

Answer 2

A.$3.90

Explanation:

1. So we have $26 and the tip is 15%, so we just find 15% of $26
2. A percentage is a number divided by 100, so 15% is the fraction
   `(15)/(100)`
3. Now what fraction of 26 is
   `(15)/(100)` ? We multiply and see
4. So
   `(15)/(100)*26=(15*26)/(100)=(390)/(100)=3.90` so $3.90 is 15% 0f $26
5. Then $3.90 is the amount of the tip
