Answer:

Cost of tip = $3.6

Total cost of meal = $27.60

Explanation:

The cost of Bella's dinner is $24.

She decides to leave a 15% tip. The cost of the tip that she decided to leave would be determined by multiplying the cost of Bella's dinner by 15%. This would be

24 × 15/100 = 24 × 0.15 = $3.6

The total cost of the meal and the tip would be determined by sum of the original cost of the meal and the cost if the tip. This would be

24+ 3.6 = $27.6

The proportion that could be used to determine the amount of the tip will be x/24 = 15 100 ; $27.60

Option A is correct
