Question

Terrence leaves a $3 tip at a restaurant. If that tip is equal to 15% of his total bill, what is his total bill?​

Answer 1

Since the tip ($3) is 15% of the total bill, we can find Terrence’s total bill by dividing his tip with 15%.

3 ÷ 15%

= 3 ÷ 15/100

= 3 x 100/15

= 300/15

= 20

His total bill is $20

Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

To find the total bill, divide the tip amount by 0.15

3/0.15

= 20

So, his total bill was $20
