Rafael's family dinner costs $56.25. The service was very good, so his dad wanted to leave a 35% tip. How much money should Rafael give as a tip? Round your answer the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To calculate the tip Rafael's dad wants to leave, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate 35% of the dinner cost:

   \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Cost of Dinner} \times \text{Tip Percentage} \]

   \[ \text{Tip} = 56.25 \times 0.35 \]

   \[ \text{Tip} = 19.6875 \]

2. Round the tip to the nearest hundredth:

   \[ \text{Tip} \approx 19.69 \]

Therefore, Rafael should give a tip of $19.69.
