Question

Sheila’s bill at a restaurant is $12.60, and she wants to leave a 15% tip.
How much will Sheila pay in total?

Will medal and fan the first to answer the question (or help me to do so.)

Answer 1

move the decimal point

100% = $12.60
10% =$1.26
5% = ? (halve 10%)

add the last 2 10% and 5% to get the tip

then add it to $12.60

all done without a calculator

Answer 2

So $0.26 + $1.26 = $1.52

$1.52 + 12.60 = $14.12? Did I do that correctly?

Thank you very much for the help!

Answer 3

12.60 x 0.15 = 1.89 then add 1.89 +12.60 = 14.49 total.

Answer 4

Thank you!

Answer 5

well just check 10% = $1.26 so 5% = $0.63

Answer 6

Oh, I see. So then add $1.26 which is $1.89, then add $1.89 to $12.60?

Answer 7

correct
