Answer 1

To calculate the tip, you can multiply the cost of the dinner by the tip percentage.

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

Now, multiply the total cost of the dinner by the decimal: Tip = $56.25 * 0.35

Calculating that:

Tip = $56.25 * 0.35 = $19.6875

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the tip is $19.69.

So, the correct response is:

$19.69
