Question

Th full question is: At Buffalo Wild Wings the total of your bill $54. If you want to leave a 20% tip, how much money would you leave? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

This one is fairly simple once you know what to do.

 

Remember that with percentages, 100% =1.  So when they say 20%, that also means 0.2.  First you will need to find what 20% of your total bill is.  Once you find that, you can't forget to add it to the original bill to find your final answer.  See below for an example:

 

If the total bill is $29.95 and you want to leave an 18% tip, how much money would you leave?

29.95 x 0.18 = 5.391, so my tip would be $5.39.  Now I have to add that to my bill.  $29.95 + $5.39 = $35.34

 

Hope this helps!
