Question

Megan left a $5 tip on a $36 restaurant bill. What percent tip is that? Give your answer to two decimal places if necessary.

Answer 1

13.88.. %

Explanation:

If 36 is 100%

then

5 is x (we dont know)

We do cross multiplication

16*x = 100*5

16x=500

Divida both sides by 16

x= 500/36

x=13.88888

Answer 2

Hello!

your answer is 13.8%

to get this, divide 5 by 36, then multiply by 100

5/36 = 0.138888...

0.138 * 100 = 13.8

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
