Question

Your waiter at a restaurant suggests you leave a tip of $10 on a $50 bill. What percentage is that?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

To find what percentage is $10 out of $50, we divide 10 by 50:

`(10)/(50)=0.2`

If we want to get the result in percentage form, we simply multiply it by 100%:

`0.2\cdot 100\%=20\%`

So a tip of $10 on a $50 bill is a tip of 20%.
