JJ decides to leave a tip that is 15% of the original price for his meal. How much should he leave as tip for the $5.50 cheeseburger and $2.50 milkshake?

Respuesta :

JJ should leave $1.20 as the tip.

The total of JJ’s meal was $8.

$5.50 + $2.50 = $8.00

To find the tip, you need to know what 15% of $8 is. That is done by multiplying 15% and the total of JJ’s meal. Change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point, two places to the left.

0.15 • $8.00 = $1.2, but more known as $1.20.
