What is percentage?

A percentage serves as a number or ratio which is been expressed as a fraction of 100.

The amount paid for the airline Ticket and the Taxi is 123.35

Sales Tax on the airline Ticket is 15% of $69, which can be calculated as $(15/100 * 69)=10.35$

The amount without any tip can be calculated as$[10.35 +20+69+(2.5*8)]$

To get the amount with the tip, we will substract the from the total amount of airline ticket 123.35 from amount for the tip which is

(123.35-119.35)= 4.

Then we can calculate percentage of the tip as

$(4/20 *100)= 20%$
