Answer to Problem 54HP

The tip of the amount and the total amount to pay at the resturant are $\$29and\$220$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

It is given in the question that the bill of the restaurant is $\$191$ and it wants to give tip of $15\%$ to the overall amount.

Concept Used:

In this, use the concept of rounding off the number to simpler one.

Calculation: Here, $\$191$ is nearly equal to $\$190$ .

So, for the tip:

  $\begin{array}{l}15\%of190\\ 15\%=\frac{15}{100}\\ =\frac{15}{100}\times 190\\ =28.5\\ \approx 29\end{array}$

The total amount to be paid is $\$191+\$29=\$220$ .

Conclusion:

The tip of the amount and the total amount are $\$29and\$220$
