Jerry's haircut costs $15.00. He gave the barber a 10% tip. What was the total cost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 = 100% ... = 10%

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

what do you think you need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15.00(.10)=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you get that answer then add to 15.00.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 is the total cost, 10% of 15 is the tip. Total cost + tip = solution.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@shelbydancer 15 + 15(10%) = the answer Because you have the price of the cut, plus the tip (which is 10% of the price of the cut) The word "of" means multiply in math language.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

percentages are out of 100, so 10%=.1. You need to multiply 15 by .1 to find out how much the tip was.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$25

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

$25 is incorrect, sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then $20.00
