original price will he pay? Write your answer as a percent, decimal,
and fraction.

Answer 1

Given that,

Michael is leaving a 15% tip for his waitress.

To find,

What percent of the original price will he pay.

Solution,

Let the original price was 100%.

When he leaves a 15% tip for the waitress, he is really paying 100%+15%=115% of the original price.

`115\%=(115)/(100)\\\\=1.15`

or

`(115)/(100)=(23)/(20)`

So, this is the required solution.
