Question

The bill for dinner was $41.76 . You left $8.24 for the tip. What percentage of the original bill was the tip? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Im SOO sorry if i got it wrong but you make a porportion, it would look like this. 8.24/41.76 = x/100, were assuming x is the percent, we then do cross multiplication which would then look like. 41.76x=824. After this we want to seperate the variable so divide 41.76 on both sides.
