Question

Michael and Imani go out to eat for lunch.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:  $28.46

Part B:   8.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We know that in this equation that 25.30 is the 100% number and we need to find 8% of this.

We can then divide  8 by 25.30 which is 3.1625 but the problem asks us to "round to the nearest cent" so we then know that the 8% is $3.16 we have to then add the 8% to the total which would be:      25.30 + 3.16 which equals $28.46 which is your answer to Part A.

Part B:

After adding a tip that problem states that the total went up from $28.46 to $32.24 to find out how much they tipped we can minus these 2 totals to find the difference

32.24 - 28.46 = 3.78

We now know that they tipped $3.78 and we now need to convert this into a percentage.

Right now the whole 100% is $32.24, we then divided 32.24 by 3.78 which would be 8.5291 and so on but wo round this it would be 8.5%

The answer to Part B would be 8.5%

Answer 2

Answer:

Given : Michael and Imani go out to eat for lunch.

their food and beverages cost $25.30

8% meals tax,

After adding a tip, the total lunch cost was $32.24

To Find : how much is the bill

What percentage tip did they give?

Solution:

food and beverages cost $25.30

8% meals tax,

Tax = (8/100) 25.3 =  2.02 $

BILL = 25.30 + 2.02

= 27.32  $

BILL = 27.32  $

After adding a tip, the total lunch cost was $32.24.

=> Tip = 32.24. -  27.32  = 4.92$

% of Tip  = (4.92 /  27.32) * 100 =  18 %

Tip = 18 %
