15 POINTS. Ronna is estimating the amount of a 15% tip for a $20.36 bill. Her friend Suri said that $2 is a good estimate. Do you agree? Explain.

Sagot :

Hi

It's not a good estimation.  2 is  10% of  20, so 5% is 1 dollar.  

As the bill is  above  20, and  15 =  10+5  , so   15% is at least more than 3.

So 3 would be a better estimation.  

In fact, 15% of 20.36  is :  20.36 *0.15 = 3.054
