Practice Question

A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $38.40. They wish to leave a 15% gratuity. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

$6.00

Rationale:

💵To estimate 15% of $38.40, multiply: 0.15 × 38.40 = $5.76, which rounds to $6.00.

🧮This approximation aligns closely with 15% and is easier to calculate quickly.

📘Other options like $4.00 or $7.00 are too far off the estimate for 15%.

📊Estimation is commonly used when tipping at restaurants.


📌Core Message

To calculate percentage-based tips, multiply the total amount by the given percent in decimal form.
