Answers

  1. Answer:
    A. $2.56
    B. $15.37
    Step-by-step explanation:
    A. When you’re asking what is a certain percent of a specific number, you turn the percent into a decimal and multiply it by the specific number. In this case, 0.20 * 12.81 = 2.562
    Since we are to round to the nearest hundred, that leaves us with $2.56.
    B. To get the total bill, add 12.81 and 2.56 to get a total of $15.37.
