Including tip

Question

When Spencer and Kale went out for Dinner, the cost of the meal was $60. They wanted to leave a 15% tip for the waiter in addition to the cost of the meal. what was the total cost of the dinner including tip?

Answer 1

total cost= cost of meal + (cost of meal x percent for tip)

 

First, let's convert the percentage for the tip to a decimal; so, 15% = 0.15

 

total cost = $60 + ($60 x 0.15)

 

total cost = $60 + $9

 

total cost = $69
