Question

your family went out to dinner to celebrate your grandmas 100th birthday. The total for the dinner was $208.60, so your parents left a $31.29 tip. What percent of the bill was the tip?

Answer 1

`\%Tip = 13.04\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Tip= \$31.29`

`Bill = \$208.60`

Required

Determine the percentage of the tip

First, we calculate the amount paid

`Amount = Tip + Bill`

`Amount = \$31.29 + \$208.60`

`Amount = \$239.89`

The percentage of the tip is then calculated using:

`\%Tip = (Tip)/(Amount) * 100\%`

`\%Tip = (31.29)/(239.89) * 100\%`

`\%Tip = (31.29* 100)/(239.89) \%`

`\%Tip = (3129)/(239.89) \%`

`\%Tip = 13.04\%`
