Question

Lenicia is a waitress and just received $12.45 for a tip for a meal that cost $56.75. Is the percentage of her tip above or below the standard 15%?
above 15%
below 15%

Answer 1

First, we have to know how much percentage the tip is from the meal cost. So,

($12.45 ÷ $56.75 ) * 100 = 21.94%

Thus, it is above the standard 15%. It is a good day for Lenicia! Keep it coming :)
