Answer:

  $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounded to the nearest $10, the $49.35 bill becomes $50.

We can find 10% of that amount by moving the decimal point to the left. 10% of $50 is $5.00.

Then 5% of $50 is half of 10%, so is $5/2 = $2.50.

The estimated tip of 15% is the sum of 10% and 5% of the bill, so is ...

  15%($50) = 10%($50) +5%($50) = $5.00 +2.50 = $7.50

The estimated 15% tip is $7.50.
