Yes, you're right.
Well, Mrs. Johnson must really have a sense of humor if she's leaving a tip in the form of a joke! But let's do the math anyway. If the bill is $100 and she wants to leave a 15% tip, she would leave approximately $15. So, well done! The answer is C, about $15.00. However, if Mrs. Johnson wants to go all out and really make the waiter's day, she could always leave a tip in the form of a clown nose. It's guaranteed to bring a smile to their face!
To calculate the tip amount, we need to multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage and then round to the nearest dollar.
Using a bill amount of $100 and a tip percentage of 15%, we calculate the tip amount as follows:
Tip amount = $100 * 0.15 = $15
Rounding this to the nearest dollar, Mrs. Johnson should leave approximately $15. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
To calculate the tip amount, you need to multiply the bill by the tip percentage. In this case, Mrs. Johnson wants to leave a 15% tip on a $100 bill.
To find 15% of $100, you can use the following formula:
tip amount = bill amount * tip percentage
So, in this case:
tip amount = $100 * 0.15
To calculate this, multiply 100 by 0.15:
tip amount = $15
Therefore, Mrs. Johnson should leave approximately $15 as a tip. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
