Question
Estimation is useful for tipping when you’re dining out, too. If the service is good, 20% of the overall bill is a nice tip to leave. Here’s a clever way to find that: move the decimal of the total amount one place to the left: that gives you 10%. Round this value to the nearest dollar and double the amount, and voila! Twenty percent. Use this to find a reasonable tip for good service on each bill.
a. $31.45
b. $129.80
