Brody Jordan · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

143.17

round the bill to the nearest $ 10 ...

that would make it $ 140

a 10% tip ... its the same thing as multiplying by 0.1

and when u multiply any number by 0.1 ur actually starting at the decimal (or the end of the number) and move one space to the left.

examples:

10% of 245 = 24.5

10% of 5010 = 501

10% of 76 = 7.6

10% of 88.5 = 8.85 ... if there is a decimal, start at the decimal

so ... 10% of 140

start at the end of the number and move 1 space to the left ...

ur answer is 14 <==
