a restaurant requires customers to pay a 15% tip for the server. Your family spends $65 on the metal.

(a) How much money do you need to tip the servers?

(b) How much money will you spend total?

1 answer

(a) To calculate the tip amount, you need to multiply the total bill by 15%.
15% of $65 = $65 * (15/100) = $9.75

Therefore, you need to tip the servers $9.75.

(b) To calculate the total amount spent, you need to add the bill amount and the tip amount.
Total amount spent = Bill amount + Tip amount
Total amount spent = $65 + $9.75 = $74.75

Therefore, you will spend a total of $74.75.
