To calculate the tip amount, you first need to find 20% of Roxanne's bill of $15.23.
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
20\% = 0.20
\]
2. Multiply the bill amount by the decimal:
\[
\text{Tip} = 15.23 \times 0.20
\]
3. Calculate the tip:
\[
\text{Tip} = 15.23 \times 0.20 = 3.046
\]
4. Round the tip to the nearest cent:
\[
3.046 \approx 3.05
\]
Thus, the amount of the tip is **$3.05**.
