Question

I went to a restaurant and gave the waitress a $15 tip. If the tip was 20% of the dinner how much was the dinner?

Answer 1

Dinner only: $75

Dinner and Tip: $90

Explanation:

If the tip was $15, and the tip was 20% of the price of dinner, then dinner was $75.

You can find this out by doing 15/20%, which should give you 75.

If the question requires you to add up the price of dinner and the tip, then the total price would be $90
