Q. You are at a restaurant and the check comes to a total of $67. 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 finding 19% of $67. To find 19% of $67, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the total check amount. 19% as a decimal is 0.19. Calculation: $\(0\).\(19\) \times \$\(67\)
Calculate Total Check Amount: Perform the calculation from Step \(1\).\(\newline\)\(0.19 \times \$67 = \$12.73\)\(\newline\)This is the amount of the tip.
Add Tip to Original Amount: Add the tip amount to the original check amount to find the total payment.\(\newline\)Original check amount: \(\$67\)\(\newline\)Tip amount: \(\$12.73\)\(\newline\)Calculation: \(\$67 + \$12.73\)
Calculate Total Payment: Perform the calculation from Step \(3\).\(\newline\)\(\$67 + \$12.73 = \$79.73\)\(\newline\)This is the total amount you should pay.
