Question

Answer 1

`90cent\ \ \ | convert\ cent \ into\ \$\\\\ 1dollar=100cent\\\\ 90cent= 0.9dollar\\\\ (0.9)/(6)*100\%=(90)/(6)\%=15\%\\\\ Tip\ was\ 15\%\ of\ cost\ of\ meal.`

Answer 2

The tip was 15% of the meal.

Explanation:

The amount of tip that miss Holman gave is 90 cent or $0.90

The total cost of the meal is $6.00

Let the tip is x% of the total cost of $6, so the amount of tip is,

`=6* (x)/(100)`

But as it given as $0.90, so

`\Rightarrow 6* (x)/(100)=0.90`

`\Rightarrow x=(0.90* 100)/(6)`

`\Rightarrow x=15\%`

Therefore, miss Holman gave a generous 15% tip to the waitress for serving the meal.
