Question

Lester's bill for lunch at a restaurant was $93. He left an 18% tip. What was the total cost of his lunch, including tip?

Round your answer to the nearest dollar: $

Answer 1

To find the total cost of Lester's lunch including the tip, we first need to calculate the amount of the tip and then add it to the original bill.

1. Calculate the tip:
\[
\text{Tip} = \text{Bill} \times \text{Tip Percentage} = 93 \times 0.18
\]
\[
\text{Tip} = 16.74
\]

2. Calculate the total cost including the tip:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Bill} + \text{Tip} = 93 + 16.74
\]
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 109.74
\]

3. Round to the nearest dollar:
\[
\text{Total Cost} \approx 110
\]

Thus, the total cost of his lunch, including tip, is **$110**.
