Mrs. Finley & Mrs. Lazo went to Mellow Mushroom to eat pizza. Their bill was $25.45, and they want to tip 20%. How much will the total be, including the tip?

1 answer

To calculate the total bill including a 20% tip, you first need to find the amount of the tip based on the bill.

  1. Calculate the tip: \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Bill} \times \text{Tip Percentage} \] \[ \text{Tip} = 25.45 \times 0.20 = 5.09 \]

  2. Calculate the total: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Bill} + \text{Tip} \] \[ \text{Total} = 25.45 + 5.09 = 30.54 \]

Therefore, the total amount including the tip would be $30.54.
