Charissa is eating out with friends, and it is her turn to pay the gratuity. The bill for the food is $26.50. If she plans to tip at 20%, what should she pay if she doesn’t want to leave pennies on the table?

To find a 20% tip, multiply the food bill by 0.20: $26.50 × 0.20 = $5.30. The tip is already a multiple of ten cents, so she won’t leave pennies on the table. The correct choice is $5.30.
