Ms. Cole goes out to lunch and the total of her bill was $26.75. She wants to leave the waiter a 20% tip. Determine the total cost of the bill.

Answer:
$32.1
Explanation:
From the question, we're told Chloe's bill was $26.75 and we're asked to find the total cost if she left the waiter a 20% tip.
Let's go ahead determine how much tip she left the waiter;
[tex]\frac{20}{100}\ast26.75=0.2\ast26.75=5.35[/tex]So she left the waiter a $5.35 tip.
To find the total cost, we need to add the tip to her bill;
[tex]26.75+5.35=32.1[/tex]Therefore, Chloe's total cost was $32.1
