Tiffany took her friends out to dinner. If the dinner was $29.53 and she gave a 20% tip, how much money did she spend total (dinner + tip)?

Answer :

Answer:

$35.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem

20 : 100 : x : 29.53

x = (29.53*20)/100 = $5.906 (value of the tip)

total cost = 29.53 + 5.906 = $35.436 = $35.44
