9 because 16 plus 9 is 25 and 21 plus 9 is 30. now you have 25/30
Now you have to simplify:
25 divided 5 is 5 and 30 divided 5 is 6. So 5/6
to just find the tip amount, multiple 24 by .15 (since percents are just the number divided by 100) to get the answer (3.60) or for the total multiple the amount by 1.(whatever the percent is), or in this case 1.15 to get the answer (27.60)
