Question

After eating dinner in a restaurant, your check comes to $45.75. You want to tip 15%. How much should your tip be?


$11.30


$6.86


$9.88


$5.00

Answer 1

To calculate a 15% tip on a check of $45.75, you can use the following formula:

Tip = Check Amount × Tip Percentage

Tip = $45.75 × 0.15

Now, calculating that:

Tip = $45.75 × 0.15 = $6.8625

Rounding to two decimal places, your tip would be approximately $6.86.

So, the correct answer is **$6.86**.
