Explanation:
Your question wasn't well written but I saw an identical question so let me help out.
a. Jada has a meal in a restaurant she adds up the prices listed on the menu for everything they ordered and gets a subtotal of $42.00. When the check comes, it says they also need to pay $3.99 in sales tax. what percentage of the subtotal is the sales tax?
b. They actually pay $52.99. The additional $7 is a tip for the server. What percentage of the subtotal is the tip?
a. Subtotal = $42.00
Tax = $3.99
Percentage of subtotal that is sales tax will be:
= Sales tax/Subtotal × 100
= 3.99/42.00 × 100
= 9.5%
b. Tip = $7
Sub total = $42
The percentage of the subtotal that is the tip will be:
= Tip/Sub total × 100
= 7/42 × 100
= 16.67%
