Question

PLEASE HELP !!! - after tip you gave a total of $321.75. If the original price of the meal was $300, what percent tip was applied for the meal?​

Answer 1

Answer: 7.25%

Explanation:

There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest might be to set up a proportion:

321.75/300 = x percent/100 percent

Now cross multiply;

300x = 321.75(100) = 32,175

Divide both sides by 300 to solve for x:

300x/300 = 32,175/300

x = 107.25 This means that the tip was 7.25% on top of the $300 meal.

Answer 2

7.25 %

Explanation:

The given in the question, after tip the total is $321.75. The original price of a meal is $300.

Calculation,

Step 1: (x/100) * 300 = 21.75

Step 2: Solve for x.

Step 3: 300x = 100 * 21.75

Step 4: x = (21.75 * 100) / 300

Step 5: x = 7.25%

Hence, the percent of tip that was applied for the meal is 7.25.
