Answer 1

To calculate the tip amount, you can use the following formula:

Tip = Cost of Dinner × Tip Percentage

First, convert the tip percentage from a percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

35% = 0.35

Now, multiply the cost of the dinner by the tip percentage:

Tip = $56.25 × 0.35

Calculating that:

Tip = $19.6875

Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth, that becomes:

Tip = $19.69

So, the correct response is:

$19.69
