The kerwood went out to eat at chilles. if there bill was $58.65 and they gavetheir server a 15% tip, how much did they pay altogether?
So, first you wanna change the 15% to a decimal. Do you know how to change 15 to a decimal?
0.15
Awesome. So now we want to see what is 15% of $58.65
So we figured out that 15% = 0.15 So 0.15 x 58.65 = the tip amonut
8.7975
So, we'll round that to $8.8. Now, the question asks what did they pay altogether. So add the tip amount with the bill amount and you should get your final answer
49.85
that doesn't make sense. How did the amount go down?
You're adding not subtracting
i did
The initial number was $58.65 If you ADD to that number, how does the amount get less?
JUST TAKE 58.65 AND DIVIDE BY 100 THEN TIMES THAT BY 15 YOU WILL GET THE 15 % THEN YOU ADD THE 15% TO THE 587.65 AND YOU GET AN ANSWER
HOPE I HELPED
