a meal at a restaurant cost $49.28. If the customers leave $8.23 for to determine the tip rate to the nearest whole percent. Wha

Monica [59]

Now, if the customers left 8.23 extra, based on a percentage of the cost of the meal, namely, the 8.23 is a percent of 49.28, then

if we take 49.28 to be the 100%, how much of a percentage is 8.23?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
49.28&100\\
8.23&t
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{49.28}{8.23}=\cfrac{100}{t}\implies t=\cfrac{8.23\cdot 100}{49.28}$
