The George family ate out at a restaurant and wants to leave a 15% tip. Their meal cost $42.00 before tip. How much will they pay for their meal, including tip?

Answer 1

They will pay #$48.30# for their meal including tip.

So let convert 15% to a decimal value before we start solving anything. So you simply divide 15 over 100 like this: #15/100# which gives you 0.15.

So, you multiply 0.15 by 42.00 to determine how much tip they are giving. The following illustrates what I mean:

#0.15*42.00=?#

So let compute that by plugging that into the calculator which we get #$6.3#.

We can now include that in the price of the meal as indicated below:

#42.00+6.30=?#

Our final answer is: #$48.3#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
