Your wrong
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's calculate the tip amount correctly.

To find the tip amount, we can multiply the total cost of the dinner by the tip percentage.

Tip amount = Total cost of dinner × Tip percentage

Given that the total cost of dinner is $56.25 and the tip percentage is 35%, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Tip amount = $56.25 × 35%
Tip amount = $56.25 × 0.35

Calculating this, we get:

Tip amount = $19.6875

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth, the tip amount that Rafeal should provide is $19.69. I apologize for any confusion caused by the previous incorrect response.
