Answer:I think your answer would $4.77 not 100% sure

Step-by-step explanation:To calculate a gratuity or tip on any calculator it is a simple multiplication. In general, the tip amount is the cost times 0. xx and your total including tip, is the cost times 1. xx where xx = the percent you want to leave. If you want to leave a 20% tip, multiply the cost by 0.20 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.20 to get the total including tip. If you want to leave a 18% tip, multiply the cost by 0.18 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.18 to get the total including tip.

Let's say you and a friend had dinner that cost $26.50. You had good service and want to leave an 18% gratuity. Put the percentage in decimal form (0.18) then multiply the cost by this number.

26.50 * 0.18 = 4.77. So your tip is $4.77.
