Answer:
Answer: $80
Step-by-step explanation:
The movers charged Mia $500.
Mia gave them a 16% tip.
Consider 16 percent tip to be of $500 that was charged by the movers.
If you focus on the word "per-cent", it means /100.
Therefore, to calculate 16%, divide it by 100:
16/100 = 0.16
16% of 500 would be:
16/100 x 500 = 80
So, Mia gave the movers $80 as their tip, which are other than their fee i.e. $500.
