A bill for dinner was 28.85. Estimate the 15% tip for that dinner.
A $8.00
B $5.00
C $3.00
D $6.00
whoever helps me can you give a a mini explanation.. please!?

Answer 1

First, we must convert the 15% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For a percent, this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 15%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number.

Second, you need to find out what 15% of your $28.85 meal cost is. This is always done by multiplying 0.15 by $28.85 and getting 4.3275. We need to round this number because you cant leave $4.3275 as a tip! When it is rounded, we get $5.00. So it is B. $5.00.
