Rafael's family dinner costs $56.25. The service was very good, so his dad wanted to leave a 35% tip. How much money should Rafael give as a tip? Round your answer the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To calculate the tip Rafael's dad wants to leave, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate 35% of the dinner cost:

   $$\text{Tip}=\text{Cost of Dinner}\times \text{Tip Percentage}$$

   $$\text{Tip}=56.25\times 0.35$$

   $$\text{Tip}=19.6875$$

2. Round the tip to the nearest hundredth:

   $$\text{Tip}\approx 19.69$$

Therefore, Rafael should give a tip of $19.69.
