Question

James works as a waiter. He served meals with bills of $23.59, $40.65, $30.50, and $15.68. If his total for tips was $17.67, what percent tip did he receive for serving these meals? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent, add the total for each meal to find the total dollars spent.

23.59 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68 = 110.42

Divide the tip amount 17.67 by 110.42.

17.67/110.42 = 0.16

Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert to a percent.

0.16*100 = 16%
