Adelaide paid $35 for a manicure and gave the manicurist a 20% tip How much money did Adelaide give her manicurist

Respuesta :

The correct answer is:
$42.

Explanation:
The best way to find a total bill including tip (or tax if that is what you are looking for - it is found the same way), is to multiply the original total by 1 + the percentage of the tip.

Since the percentage is 20%, we add 0.20 to 1 to get 1.20.
Now we multiply that by the original cost to get the final answer.
1.20*35 = 42

Answer:

Adelaide gave $ 42 to the manicurist.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the original price of the manicure = $ 35

Since, 20% tip is given to manicurist,

Thus, the total payment for manicure = Original price of the manicure + 20 % of the original price of the manicure

= 35 + 20 % of 35

[tex]=35+\frac{20\times 35}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=35+\frac{700}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=35+7[/tex]

[tex]=42[/tex]

Hence, Adelaide gave $ 42 to the manicurist.
