Question

Brett plays an acoustic guitar at an event for $500. At the end of the event, the sponsor tips him 20%. How much does Brett make at this event?

Answer 1

Brett makes $510

First you’ll have to multiply $500 by 0.020 (you have to convert 20%) and you’ll get 10. You then add the 10 to 500 to get $510

Answer 2

Answer: $600

Step-by-step explanation:

Tip: 20% is .2 or 1/5

500 × .2 = 100.

500 + 100 = 600
