Question

your family went out to dinner to celebrate your grandmas 100th birthday. The total for the dinner was $208.60, so your parents left a $31.29 tip. What percent of the bill was the tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%Tip = 13.04\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Tip= \ 31.29$

$Bill = \ 208.60$

Required

Determine the percentage of the tip

First, we calculate the amount paid

$Amount = Tip + Bill$

$Amount = \ 31.29 + \ 208.60$

$Amount = \ 239.89$

The percentage of the tip is then calculated using:

$\%Tip = \frac{Tip}{Amount} * 100\%$

$\%Tip = \frac{31.29}{239.89} * 100\%$

$\%Tip = \frac{31.29* 100}{239.89} \%$

$\%Tip = \frac{3129}{239.89} \%$

$\%Tip = 13.04\%$
