Question

Carly's bill for lunch at a restaurant was $47. She left a 20% tip. What was the amount of the tip?

Answer 1

To find the amount of the tip Carly left, we can calculate 20% of her lunch bill of $47.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:

20% = 20/100 = 0.20

Now, we multiply the bill amount by the decimal:

Tip = Bill Amount × Tip Percentage
Tip = $47 × 0.20

Calculating that gives us:

Tip = $9.40

Therefore, the amount of the tip Carly left was **$9.40**.
