Aubrey's dinner cost \$85$85dollar sign, 85. She tips the waitstaff 30\%30%30, percent for excellent service.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so we first figure out what 30% of $85 is. To do this, we must first convert 30% to its decimal equivalent. then We divide 30/100 to find the decimal because percentages are portions of 100.

30/100 = 0.3

now we  multiply this decimal by $85. We do this because the word "of" in mathematics implies that we must use multiplication.

0.3 * 85 = 25.5

Aubrey tips the waitstaff $25.50.
