Miss Larson goes out to eat for dinner. Her bill is $40.32. She wants to leave a 25% tip. How much money should Miss Larson leave as her tip? Round to the nearest

Answer 1

To calculate the tip amount, we need to find 25% of $40.32.

First, we can find 10% by dividing $40.32 by 10: 40.32 / 10 = $<<40.32/10=4.032>>4.032.

Then, we can find 5% by dividing $4.032 by 2: 4.032 / 2 = $<<4.032/2=2.016>>2.016.

To find 25%, we add 10% + 10% + 5% = $4.032 + $4.032 + $2.016 = $<<4.032+4.032+2.016=10.080>>10.080.

Therefore, Miss Larson should leave a $10.08 tip.

Answer 2

Good grief, just divide by 4.
40.32 / 4 = 10.08

Answer 3

Yes, you are right. I apologize for the more complicated explanation. To find a 25% tip amount, you can simply divide the bill amount by 4. In this case, $40.32 divided by 4 equals $10.08. Therefore, Miss Larson should leave a $10.08 tip. Thank you for pointing out the simpler calculation method.
