A 15% tip would be about $15, or $15.12 to be exact.

Explanation:

To find tips, multiply the value by the percent. Don't know how to find the numeric value of a percent? It is the % you are given over 100.

For this example, it is 15/100, which is 0.15 in the decimal form. Next, multiply.

100.82 xx 0.15 = 15.123

If you are told to round to the nearest cent, it would be $15.12. To the nearest 10 cents, $15.10. To the nearest dollar, $15.

To find the value of the whole thing, simply add the tip to the bill. For this example, it would end up being $115.94.
