Q. Penelope was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. Her dinner came to $28 \$ 28 . She wanted to leave a 20% 20 \% tip. How much was her meal plus the tip, before tax, in dollars and cents?\newlineAnswer:$ \$

  2. Find total cost: We know:\newlineCost of dinner = $28\$28\newlineTip = $5.60\$5.60\newlineWhat is the total cost of the meal plus the tip?\newline$28+$5.60=$33.60\$28 + \$5.60 = \$33.60\newlineTotal cost of the meal plus tip = $33.60\$33.60
