Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B is correct

18%  tip did you leave for the waiter.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

If you leave a $10.50 tip for the waiter on a meal that cost $58.25.

Cost of a tip = $ 10.50

Cost of a meal = $58.25

We have to find the percent tip did you leave.

$\text{Percent of tip} = \frac{\text{Cost of tip}}{\text{Cost of a meal}} \times 100$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{Percent of tip} = \frac{10.50}{58.25}\times 100$

Simplify:

Percent of tip = 18.0257511 %

Therefore, 18%  tip did you leave for the waiter.
