What is the total cost of a $56.53 meal at a restaurant after including a 17% tip? A. $3.33 B. $9.61 C. $66.14 D. $39.53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

56.53 * 17% turn 17% into a decimal what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess it can't be smaller than the cost before the tip who writes these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be a miracle if you left a tip and paid less in total than the original bill maybe the waiter tipped you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.17 @moser90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, i'm thinking it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would you leave paying less then the meal multiply .17 by 56.53 what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then add that to 56.53 and that is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C! My bad, I was only thinking about the tip itself. Looking at it now, it's looks obvious haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that is what me and @satellite73 were saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c.cc. you change 17% to .17 and then multiply it by the bill and thats how you get your total with tip.
