Answer 2

Answer:

The tip was 15% of the meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of tip that miss Holman gave is 90 cent or $0.90

The total cost of the meal is $6.00

Let the tip is x% of the total cost of $6, so the amount of tip is,

$=6\times \dfrac{x}{100}$

But as it given as $0.90, so

$\Rightarrow 6\times \dfrac{x}{100}=0.90$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.90\times 100}{6}$

$\Rightarrow x=15\%$

Therefore, miss Holman gave a generous 15% tip to the waitress for serving the meal.
