Joseph's lunch at a restaurant costs $13.00 without tax. He leaves the waiter a tip of 17% of the cost of the lunch, without tax. What is the total cost of the lunch, including the tip

The total cost of the lunch including the tip is $15.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the lunch including the tip, first, you need to calculate 17% of the price of the lunch as the statement indicates that that is the tip Joseph leaves the waiter:

$13*17%=$2.21

Now, you need to add that amount to the price of the lunch:

$13+$2.21=$15.21

According to this, the answer is that the total cost of the lunch including the tip is $15.21.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
