Question

Suppose you rent a limousine for a formal reception. The bill for the evening is $53.00. A tax of 6% will be added, and you want to tip the chauffeur 20% for excellent driving. How much will you pay in total?


$63.60
$66.78
$13.78
$10.60

Answer 1

The tax is applied to the 53 to get the final total.

So.
53*.06 = the tax
53 * .20 = the tip

53 + tax + tip = final amount

Answer 2

Estimate a 20% tip for a meal that cost $42.50

$4.20
$8.50
$2.00
$14.50

Answer 3

multiply 42 by .2
You get 8.40. That's a close enough estimation for the sake of the choices

Answer 4

for number one which one is it out of the multiple choices

Answer 20

we must focus on the math my friend

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

when i multiply 0.30 with 60 it gave me 18 soooo i think my answer go to be 180

Answer 23

That doesn't make any sense.

30% of what number is 60?
.30 * x = 60

Answer 24

so i have to take 60 and divided by .30 to find what x represents?

Answer 25

exactly. if you don't have a calculator .3 = 3/10

dividing by 3/10 -> you multiply by the reciprocal

60*(10/3) = 600/3 = 200

Answer 26

ok
