Answer 1

To calculate the tip, you need to find 35% of the dinner cost of $56.25.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal: 35% = 0.35

Now, multiply the dinner cost by the decimal: Tip = $56.25 * 0.35

Calculating that: Tip = $19.6875

Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth gives: Tip = $19.69

So, Rafeal should provide a tip of $19.69.
