Math Problem of the Week - Middle School - Jan. 9, 2022 to Jan. 15, 2022

Middle School: 

Question: Daniel orders a pumpkin pie from a bakery. The pie costs $16.60. He tips the baker 15% rounded up to the next dollar. By how much money does Daniel round the tip?

Answer:  $0.51

Solution:  To find 15% of $16.60, we multiply $16.60 × 0.15 = $2.49. If Daniel rounds up to the next dollar, he will round by $3.00 – $2.49 = $0.51.
