Practice Question

A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $28.40. They wish to leave a 10% tip. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

$3.00

Rationale:

💰A 10% tip is calculated by multiplying the total bill amount by 0.10, which is the decimal equivalent of 10%.

💵For a bill of $28.40, the estimated tip is $28.40 × 0.10 = $2.84.

📉When estimating tips, it is customary to round to the nearest dollar for simplicity, especially in casual settings.

🔢Rounding $2.84 results in an estimated gratuity of $3.00, making it the most appropriate and practical choice.


📌Core Message

Estimating a 10% tip involves shifting the decimal one place left and rounding appropriately.
