Q. Jaxon was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. He wanted to leave a 13% tip. If dinner cost d dollars and cents, which expression represents the cost of dinner plus tip?0.13d1.013d1.13d13d
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find an expression that represents the total cost of dinner including a 13% tip. The cost of dinner is given as d dollars.
Express the tip as a decimal: Express the tip as a decimal.To calculate a percentage of a number, we convert the percentage to a decimal. For a 13% tip, we convert 13% to a decimal by dividing by 100.13%=10013=0.13
Calculate the tip amount: Calculate the tip amount.The tip amount is 13% of the dinner cost, so we multiply d dollars by 0.13.Tip =0.13×d
Add the tip to the original dinner cost: Add the tip to the original dinner cost to get the total cost.The total cost of dinner including the tip is the original cost plus the tip.Total cost = Original cost + TipTotal cost = d+(0.13×d)
Combine like terms to simplify the expression: Combine like terms to simplify the expression.We can factor out d from both terms to get the expression for the total cost.Total cost = d×(1+0.13)Total cost = d×1.13
Choose the correct expression: Choose the correct expression from the given options.The correct expression that represents the total cost of dinner including a 13% tip is 1.13d.
