A waitress earns an average tip of 12% of the cost of the food she serves. If she serves $375 worth of food in one evening, how much money in tips will she earn on average?

The answer is 45. The answer is like that because 12 (your percent) times 375 is 4500 and you can only go to 100 percent so 4500 divide 100 is 45.
