Question

Megan served a dinner party while at work and earned a 22% tip from the customers. If Megan received $16.50 as her tip, what was the customer's bill?

Part/ whole = %/100 or Part/%

a. $66.75
b. $363
c. $75
d. $82.50

Answer 1

To find the customer's bill, we need to determine the total cost of the meal before the tip. We know that Megan received a 22% tip of $16.50, which means the total bill including the tip is 100% + 22% = 122% of the original bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the customer's bill, we need to determine the total cost of the meal before the tip. We know that Megan received a 22% tip of $16.50, which means the total bill including the tip is 100% + 22% = 122% of the original bill. Let's represent the customer's bill as x.

Since 122% of x is equal to $16.50, we can set up the equation: 122/100 * x = $16.50

By solving this equation, we can find the value of x, which represents the customer's bill.
