A restaurant bill is $85. If a customer tips 20%, how much is the tip?

The correct answer is: $17

To determine the amount of a 20% tip on an $85 restaurant bill, you can perform the calculation as follows: First, convert the percentage to a decimal. The percentage 20% can be expressed as 0.20. Next, multiply the total bill by the decimal representation of the tip percentage: \[ Tip = Total\ Bill \times Tip\ Percentage \] In this case: \[ Tip = 85 \times 0.20 \] Calculating this gives: \[ Tip = 85 \times 0.20 = 17 \] Thus, the amount of the tip is $17. This matches the given option indicating that the customer would leave a $17 tip, which represents 20% of the $85 bill.
