Miko’s restaurant bill was $16. She used the expression 1.18(16) to find the total cost including an 18% tip.

Which expression is equivalent to the amount Miko paid?

16 + 1.18

1 + 0.18(16)

(16 + 0.18)16

16 + 0.18(16)

Respuesta :

The answer is (1+0.18)16.

we have that

the expression to find the total cost is equal to

[tex]1.18(16)[/tex]

we know that

[tex]1.18=(1+0.18)[/tex]

substitute in the expression above

[tex]1.18(16)=(1+0.18)16[/tex]

Applying property distributive

[tex](1+0.18)16=(1)*16+(0.18)*16=16+0.18*(16)[/tex]

therefore

the answer is the option

[tex]16+0.18(16)[/tex]
