Answer 1

To find out how much Rafeal should leave as a tip, you can calculate 35% of the total dinner cost.

First, convert 35% to a decimal: \[ 35% = 0.35 \]

Next, multiply the total cost by this decimal: \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Total Cost} \times \text{Tip Percentage} \] \[ \text{Tip} = 56.25 \times 0.35 \]

Now, perform the multiplication: \[ \text{Tip} = 19.6875 \]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives: \[ \text{Tip} \approx 19.69 \]

So, Rafeal should provide a tip of $19.69.
