Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{Question :}}}$

If Tim had lunch at $50.50 and he gave 20% tip, how much did he spend? 

$\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}$

$60.60

$\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{Explanation :}}}$

The tip is 20% of what he paid for lunch. Hence,

tip = 20% of 50.50 =

(20/100)*50.50 = 101/100 = $10.10

Total spent =

50.50 + 10.10 = $60.60

Answer 2

Solution :

Given percentage of tip is 20%

So,

Tip = 20% of $ 50.50 =

50.50 × 20/100 = $10.10

Total spent =

$ 50.50 + $ 10.10 = $60.60
