Question

Jerry left a ​$ 5.22 5.22 tip on a meal that cost ​$ 29 29. What percent of the​ meal's cost was the​ tip? What was the total cost of the meal including the​ tip?

Answer 1

I'm assuming that each price copied twice, since 5.225.22 isn't a number.

To find the percent, divide the tip by the meal cost:

5.22 ÷ 29 = 0.18 = 18%

Jerry left an 18% tip.

To find the total cost of the meal, add the tip and the meal cost:

5.22 + 29.00 = 34.22

The total cost if the meal, including tip, was $34.22.

Answer 2

He left an 18% too and the total was 34.22
