Q. You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $18. If you want to leave a 19% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?Answer:
Calculate Tip Amount: Calculate the amount of the tip by multiplying the total check amount by the tip percentage.$18×19%=$18×0.19
Find Total Payment: Add the tip amount to the original check amount to find the total payment.$18+($18×0.19)=$18+$3.42=$21.42
Round Total Payment: Round the total payment to the nearest cent if necessary. $21.42 is already to the nearest cent.
