Question

Theresa wants to order her mother flowers for her birthday. She wants to give the delivery person a $6.00 tip. The cost of the flowers was $75. How much should she tip the driver.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since question already gives the number of dollars she will tip, I'm assuming it's asking for percent tipped.

Because the total is $75 and Theresa is tipping $6, she is tipping $\frac{6}{75}=0.08$ of the total. To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100: $0.08\implies 0.08\cdot 100=\boxed{8\%}$

Answer 2

8%
That’s how much she needs to tip
