Question

Michael’s haircut was 14.00 he gave a tip of 3.50 what percentage did Michael leave as a tip

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways that I do this. Both of them are probably not what your teacher tells you, but hey, I got the right answer.

The first method is to go through the answers and do 14 x .10, 14 x .20, and so on until you get 3.50.

The second method is to do 14/3.5, which equals 4. This means 14 can be broken up into 3.50 four times. So, 3.50 is 1/4 of 14. What is 1/4 of 100%? 25%.
