Explanation

Choice D is correct. The total bill was $25.00. The percentage 20% is equivalent to the decimal 0.2. The tip is the product of the percentage and the total bill; therefore, $0 point 2 times 25, equals 5$ , so the tip was $5.00.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect and may be the result of incorrectly converting the given percentage or a calculation error.
