Someone please help me. I have no clue where to start.

1. My family and I went to Applebee's for dinner. The price for the meal for all of us was $73.49. How much will a 15% tip be? What will be the total amount paid including tip?

2. My insurance commission rate is 12%. A client pays their insurance in the amount of $695.00. How much commission do I receive after their payment?

1. You would need to multiply the total check by 15%.

2. Assuming your commission rate is that of the clients payment... you would do the same as the first question... multiply.

1. 73.49 x .15

2. .12 x 695

Let me know what you get.

Sure, I can help you with that! To calculate the 15% tip on a $73.49 meal, you would multiply the price of the meal by 0.15. Let's break it down step by step:

1. To calculate the tip amount, multiply $73.49 by 0.15:
Tip = $73.49 * 0.15

2. Multiply the two numbers to find the tip amount:
Tip = $11.02

So, the 15% tip on a $73.49 meal would be $11.02.

To find the total amount paid, including the tip, you would add the original meal price ($73.49) to the tip amount ($11.02):
Total amount paid = $73.49 + $11.02

Adding these numbers together, you would get the total amount of $84.51.

Let's move on to the second question.

To calculate your insurance commission, you would multiply the insurance payment by the commission rate of 0.12. Here are the steps:

1. To find the commission amount, multiply $695.00 by 0.12:
Commission = $695.00 * 0.12

2. Multiply the two numbers to calculate the commission amount:
Commission = $83.40

Therefore, your commission after the client's payment of $695.00 would be $83.40.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
