Q. Jackson was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. He wanted to leave a 24% tip. If dinner cost d dollars and cents, which expression represents the cost of dinner plus tip?(1+0.24)dd+0.241.240.24d
Identify Percentage and Cost: Identify the percentage of the tip and the original cost of the dinner. The tip is 24% of the dinner cost, which is represented as 0.24 times the cost of dinner (d).
Translate Percentage to Decimal: Translate the percentage tip into a decimal and add it to the original cost to find the total cost.The expression for the total cost including tip is the original cost d plus the tip 0.24d.
Combine Original Cost and Tip: Combine the original cost and the tip into a single expression.The expression for the total cost is d+0.24d.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor d to simplify the expression.The simplified expression is (1+0.24)d or 1.24d.
