Given:
The bill in the restaurant is $130.
Determine the tip if the typical tip is 15% of the bill.
Solution:
In order to determine the tip we must convert first the percentage into decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
=15/100
= 0.15
Now we multiply 0.15 by 130 in order to know the tip.
= (0.15)(130)
=$19.5
Final answer:
The tip is $19.50
