Question

Percents

Answer 1

Given that,

Michael is leaving a 15% tip for his waitress.

To find,

What percent of the  original price will he pay.

Solution,

Let the original price was 100%.

When he leaves a 15% tip for the waitress, he is really paying 100%+15%=115% of the original price.

$115\%=\dfrac{115}{100}\\\\=1.15$

or

$\dfrac{115}{100}=\dfrac{23}{20}$

So, this is the required solution.
