Final answer:

To calculate Zoe's tip for a $95 meal at 15%, convert 15% to decimal (0.15) and multiply by the bill amount: $95 × 0.15 = $14.25. The tip amount is $14.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how to calculate the amount of a tip left for a meal at a restaurant. To find the tip amount, one must first convert the percentage into a decimal. For Zoe's bill of $95 with a 15% tip, you convert 15% to a decimal by dividing 15 by 100, which is 0.15. Then, multiply Zoe's total bill by this decimal:

$95 × 0.15 = $14.25

Therefore, the amount of the tip Zoe left was $14.25.
