Answer 1

To find out how much Rafeal should leave as a tip, we can calculate 35% of the dinner cost of $56.25.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal: 35% = 0.35

Next, multiply the dinner cost by the decimal percentage: \[ \text{Tip} = 56.25 \times 0.35 \] \[ \text{Tip} = 19.6875 \]

Now, rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives us: \[ 19.69 \]

So, Rafeal should provide a tip of $19.69.
