15. Roberto paid $35.75 for dinner at a restaurant, plus an additional $7.15

tip. What percent of the bill did he pay as a tip? Round to the nearest

percent, if necessary.

Answer 1

He paid 17% of the bill as a tip.

Explanation:

Paid $35.75 for dinner at a restaurant, plus an additional $7.15 tip.

So in all, he paid 35.75 + 7.15 = $42.9

Tip as a percent:

Tip(7.15) multiplied by 100 and divided by the total(42.9). So

7.15*100/42.9 = 16.7%

Rounded to the nearest percent

He paid 17% of the bill as a tip.
