Tessa takes her friends out to lunch and the total cost of the meal is $120.30. The restaurant then added the 20% tip to the cost of the meal. How much money was added for the tip?

Question

$144.36

$24.06

$6.02

$12.03

Answer 1

To find the tip amount, we need to multiply the cost of the meal by 20% (or 0.2), which represents the percentage added for the tip.

Tip amount = 0.2 x $120.30 = $24.06

Therefore, the answer is $24.06.
