Mrs. Smith went to ruby Tuesday for dinner with her family. The total cost of the meal without tax was $54.67. Determine the following tip amounts and the total amount of the bi without tax.
Tip 15%: ____ Total of the bill: ____
Tip 20%: ____ Total of the bill: ____
To find the tip amount, we need to calculate a percentage of the total cost of the meal without tax.
Tip 15%:
Tip amount = 15% of $54.67
Tip amount = 0.15 * $54.67
Tip amount = $8.20
Total bill amount = Total cost of the meal without tax + Tip amount
Total bill amount = $54.67 + $8.20
Total bill amount = $62.87
Tip 20%:
Tip amount = 20% of $54.67
Tip amount = 0.20 * $54.67
Tip amount = $10.93
Total bill amount = Total cost of the meal without tax + Tip amount
Total bill amount = $54.67 + $10.93
Total bill amount = $65.60
Therefore, the answers are:
Tip 15%: $8.20, Total of the bill: $62.87
Tip 20%: $10.93, Total of the bill: $65.60
