mr andropolis wants to leave the waitress a 12% tip. estimate the tip he should leave if the family's bill is $32.46
10% of 33 = 3.30
Let's add another 50 cents, making it $3.80. If he wanted to be generous, he'd round up to $4.00
Just add 50 cents then make it 3.80 ok, so if she wanted to be nice she would round up the number to 4.00 :)
you need to find 12% of what the bill is
To estimate the tip Mr. Andropolis should leave, we need to calculate 12% of the bill amount.
Step 1: Convert 12% to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
12% = 12/100 = 0.12
Step 2: Multiply the decimal value by the bill amount.
Tip = 0.12 * $32.46
To simplify the calculation, we can use the shortcut method:
Step 3: Divide the bill amount by 100 to get 1%, then multiply it by 12 to get 12%.
Tip = ($32.46 / 100) * 12
Let's calculate the estimate:
Tip = ($32.46 / 100) * 12 = $3.8952 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, the estimated tip Mr. Andropolis should leave is approximately $3.90.
