(a) To calculate the amount of money needed to pay the server, you need to multiply the cost of the meal by the tip percentage. The tip percentage is 15% of the meal cost, so:
15% of $45 = $45 * 0.15 = $6.75
Therefore, you need to pay the server $6.75.
(b) To calculate the total amount of money you will spend, you need to add the cost of the meal and the tip.
Total amount spent = Cost of the meal + Tip
Total amount spent = $45 + $6.75 = $51.75
Therefore, you will spend a total of $51.75.
A restaurant requires customers to pay a 15% tip for the server. Your family spends $45 on the meal.
