Q. You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $35. If you want to leave a 20% tip, how much total money should you pay, to the nearest cent?Answer:
Calculate tip amount: Determine the amount of the tip by calculating 20% of the check total.To find 20% of $35, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the check amount.20%=0.20Tip = \(0.20 \times $35\)
Find 20% of check total: Perform the calculation to find the tip amount.Tip = $\(0\).\(20\) \times \$(\(35\))\(\newline\)Tip = \$(\(7\).\(00\))
Calculate total payment: Add the tip amount to the original check amount to find the total payment.\(\newline\)Total Payment = Check Amount + Tip\(\newline\)Total Payment = \(\$35\) + \(\$7.00\)
Add tip to check amount: Perform the calculation to find the total payment.\(\newline\)Total Payment = \(\$35 + \$7.00\)\(\newline\)Total Payment = \(\$42.00\)
