i can’t find the answer

Answer 2

Hi Jaraisha!

Well, first off let's find what 10% of the meal cost is anyway, so, what's 10% of 45.80?

If we take 45.80 as the 100%, well, let's check what is the 10% of that.

45.80/x = 100/10 

(45.80 * 10)/100 = x

x = 4.58

45.80 + 4.58 = 50.38

Answer 3

With 10% tip, total cost is 110% = 1.1

45.80 * 1.1 = $50.38
