Question

Rafeal's family dinner costs 56.25 his dad wants him to leave a 35 percent tip

Answer 1

To calculate a 35% tip on a dinner cost of $56.25, you can use the following steps:

1. **Convert the percentage to a decimal**:
\[
35\% = 0.35
\]

2. **Multiply the dinner cost by the tip percentage**:
\[
\text{Tip} = 56.25 \times 0.35
\]

3. **Perform the multiplication**:
\[
\text{Tip} = 19.6875
\]

So, the tip Rafeal should leave is approximately **$19.69** when rounded to the nearest cent.

4. **Total cost including the tip**:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 56.25 + 19.69 = 75.94
\]

Therefore, the total cost of the dinner including the tip would be **$75.94**.
