Answer 17

can anyone help with this question?
The Mason family's bill for dinner is $55.73. How much should they tip their server? (Use the standard percentage and round to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answer 18

A typical tip is 20% so find 20% of 55.73

Answer 19

1114.06?

Answer 20

no, 11.14

Answer 21

Does that make sense to you? Your bill is $55 and the tip is over $1000?

Answer 22

I then got 11.14

Answer 23

The directions say to round to the nearest dollar.

Answer 24

so that would be 12.00

Answer 25

So 11dollars and 14 cents is closer to 12 dollars than to 11 dollars?
