Sam received a 15 percent tip for delivering pizzas. If the cost of the pizzas was $247.62, what was the total amount he collected from the customer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

About 284.76$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.15*247.62=37.143

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add it to 247.62$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait so add 284.76 to 247.62

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the tip is 15 percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in decimals this is 0.15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=100% .5=50% etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you multiply the pizza cost by .15, you get the tip

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know the pizzas cost $247.62

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just add the cost of the tip to the cost of the pizzas
