Q. Levi was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. He wanted to leave a tip of 15%. What number should he multiply the cost of the meal by to find the total plus tip in one step?Answer:
Calculate Total Cost: Levi wants to leave a tip of 15%. To find the total cost including the tip, he needs to calculate 100% of the meal cost (which is the meal itself) plus the 15% tip. To do this in one step, he should multiply the cost of the meal by 1 (representing 100%) plus 0.15 (representing 15%).Calculation: 1+0.15=1.15
