Answer 1

B.18% 58.25 x .18 = 10.485

Answer 2

Option B is correct

18% tip did you leave for the waiter.

Explanation:

As per the statement:

If you leave a $10.50 tip for the waiter on a meal that cost $58.25.

Cost of a tip = $ 10.50

Cost of a meal = $58.25

We have to find the percent tip did you leave.

`\text{Percent of tip} = \frac{\text{Cost of tip}}{\text{Cost of a meal}} * 100`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Percent of tip} = (10.50)/(58.25)* 100`

Simplify:

Percent of tip = 18.0257511 %

Therefore, 18% tip did you leave for the waiter.
