Respuesta :

The 10% of 7.5 is .75
In total she will pay $8.25

Answer:

$0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Janet's dinner costs $7.50. She wants to leave a 10% tip. We are asked to find the amount of tip.

The amount of tip will be equal to 10% of $7.50.

[tex]\text{The amount of tip}=\$7.50\times \frac{10}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The amount of tip}=\frac{\$75}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The amount of tip}=\$0.75[/tex]

Therefore, Janet should leave $0.75 extra for the tip.
