Answer 1

25+30+5=60
60 times .30 would equal the answer
So it would be A) .30(60)

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) 0.30(60).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mrs. Benton treats herself to a day at Nail Spa. The services she receives are a manicure for $25 and a pedicure for $30.

She also asks for a special nail polish that costs $5.00 extra. She decides to leave a 30% tip.

We are to select the expression that can be used to calculate the tip.

The total cost for the treatment of Mrs. Benton is given by

$T.C.=\ (25+30+5)=\ 60.$

Since she decides to leave a 30% tip, so the amount of the tip is given by

$T=30\%\times T.C.=\dfrac{30}{100}\times60=0.3(60).$

Thus, the correct option is (A) 0.30(60).
