Your parents took your family to dinner. Your parents wanted to give the waiter a 15% tip. If the total amount of the dinner was $42.00. What should be paid to the waiter as a tip.
Well Jaz 15% gose over 100 so but 42 as a fraction at the bottom and then multiply 42x15=630 and divide it by 100 and you get $6.30 so you tip the waiter $6.30
42.00x15% also change that to a decimal. Which equals 6.30!
.15 *42=6.30
6.30=x
Tip 6.30
42*15/100 = 42*3/20 = 6.30
To calculate the tip amount, you'll need to multiply the total dinner bill by the tip percentage. In this case, the total dinner bill is $42.00 and the desired tip percentage is 15%.
To find the tip amount:
1. First, convert the tip percentage from a percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 15% is equal to 0.15.
2. Multiply the total dinner bill by the tip percentage (in decimal form) to calculate the tip amount.
Tip amount = $42.00 * 0.15 = $6.30.
Therefore, the tip amount that should be paid to the waiter is $6.30.
