Yul has lunch at a restaurant. If his bill was $14.50 and Yul wants to leave a 20% tip, what is the amount he should leave for the tip?

Answer 1

Hi Kiana,

You can determine the amount of the tip by multiplying the amount of the bill by the tip percent written in decimal form.

For this problem the bill was $14.50 and the tip percent as a decimal is 0.20 (20% = 0.20)

The tip amount would be : 0.20 x 14.50 = $2.90
