Question

Serena's father tipped a taxi driver $5 for a $25 ride. What was the percent of the tip that he paid?

Answer 1

To find the percent, we do 5/25. That gives the decimal 0.2, to change that to a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and add a % sign, giving 20%

Answer 2

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Serena's father tipped a taxi driver $5 for a $25 ride.

Amount he paid for ride= $25

Amount he paid as tip = $5

Then, the percent of the tip that he paid :-

$\dfrac{\text{Tip amount}}{\text{Ride fare}}\times100 \\\\=\dfrac{5}{25}\times100=20\%$

Hence, the percent of the tip that he paid = 20%
