Question

Estimate the tip on a $19.65 check using a tip rate of 15%

Answer 1

Dude I just answered this.

Answer 2

What is 15% of $19.65?

Usually when you see the word "of" it indicates multiplication.

You do: $19.65 x 0.15 = 2.9475 <-- This is the 15% out of the total $19.65
and is how much you paid for tips.

Answer 3

You can round 19.65 up to 20 and then multiply 15 by 20 to get 300, but you have to move the decimal back 3 spots to get 3


So the tip is roughly $3

Answer 4

of course, it's a bit smaller than that, but that's just an estimate

Answer 5

You multiply 0.15 , not 15 because we are dealing with percentage.

100% = 100/100= 1.00
15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Answer 6

I know, I'm ignoring the decimals at first, then moving decimal points

Answer 7

Or $2.95 when dealing with money
