Difficulty: EasyTaxes and Tips

Read the scenario and fill in the missing numerical values.

Answer:A customer gets a haircut that costs $20.00\$20.00. If the customer leaves a 15%15\% tip, the tip amount is $【3】\$【3】 and the total cost of the haircut is $【23】\$【23】.

Answer

The tip amount is 3.00andthetotalcostis3.00 and the total cost is 23.00.
The tip amount is found by multiplying the base cost by the tip percentage expressed as a decimal ($20.00×0.15=$3.00\$20.00 \times 0.15 = \$3.00). The total cost is determined by adding this calculated tip amount to the original price ($20.00+$3.00=$23.00\$20.00 + \$3.00 = \$23.00).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Convert the tip percentage to a decimal and multiply by the cost of the haircut.
$20.00×0.15=$3.00\$20.00 \times 0.15 = \$3.00
To find the dollar amount of the tip, calculate 15%15\% of the original price.
2
Add the calculated tip amount to the original cost.
$20.00+$3.00=$23.00\$20.00 + \$3.00 = \$23.00
The total cost is the sum of the original service price and the tip.
