Pierce received his bill for dinner at a restaurant. The bill was for $18.70. He wanted to leave a 20% tip. What will be the total amount of his bill after he leaves a tip?
Responses
A $21.40$21.40
B $22.44$22.44
C $37.40$37.40
D $3.74
To calculate the 20% tip, multiply the bill amount by 0.20:
$18.70 x 0.20 = $3.74
Add the tip amount to the bill amount to find the total:
$18.70 + $3.74 = $22.44
Therefore, the total amount of his bill after leaving a tip will be $22.44.
The correct answer is B) $22.44.
