Question

A family eats at a restaurant. The bill is $38.70. The family leaves a tip and spends $46.44. What percentage of the bill is the tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find 10% of the bill. 38.7 divided by 10 = $3.87. Now we can add this to the bill until we get the answer or close to it. 38.70 + 3.87 = 42.57 + 3.87 = 46.44. That is the total cost. How many times did we add it? Twice, so we do 10*2=20. The tip was 20% of the bill

Answer 2

The answer is 5 percent
