Q. Jaxon was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. He wanted to leave a 13% 13 \% tip. If dinner cost d d dollars and cents, which expression represents the cost of dinner plus tip?\newline0.13d 0.13 d \newline1.013d 1.013 d \newline1.13d 1.13 d \newline13d 13 d
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to find an expression that represents the total cost of dinner including a 13%13\% tip. The cost of dinner is given as dd dollars.
  2. Express the tip as a decimal: Express the tip as a decimal.\newlineTo calculate a percentage of a number, we convert the percentage to a decimal. For a 13%13\% tip, we convert 13%13\% to a decimal by dividing by 100100.\newline13%=13100=0.1313\% = \frac{13}{100} = 0.13
  3. Calculate the tip amount: Calculate the tip amount.\newlineThe tip amount is 13%13\% of the dinner cost, so we multiply dd dollars by 0.130.13.\newlineTip =0.13×d= 0.13 \times d
  4. Add the tip to the original dinner cost: Add the tip to the original dinner cost to get the total cost.\newlineThe total cost of dinner including the tip is the original cost plus the tip.\newlineTotal cost = Original cost + Tip\newlineTotal cost = d+(0.13×d)d + (0.13 \times d)
  5. Combine like terms to simplify the expression: Combine like terms to simplify the expression.\newlineWe can factor out dd from both terms to get the expression for the total cost.\newlineTotal cost = d×(1+0.13)d \times (1 + 0.13)\newlineTotal cost = d×1.13d \times 1.13
  6. Choose the correct expression: Choose the correct expression from the given options.\newlineThe correct expression that represents the total cost of dinner including a 13%13\% tip is 1.13d1.13d.
