Question

At the campus coffee art, a medium coffee costs $2.35. Maryanne brings $3.00 with her when she buys a cup of coffee and leaves the change as a tip. What percent does she leave? Round to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

Given:

The cost of a medium coffee = $2.35

Maryanne brings $3.00 with her when she buys a cup of coffee and leaves the change as a tip

So, the change = the tip = 3 - 2.35 = 0.65

The percentage of the tip =

`(0.65)/(2.35)*100=27.65957\%`

Round to 2 decimal places.

So, the answer will be 27.66%
