Answer 1

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{15\% of 32}}{\left( \cfrac{15}{100} \right)32}\implies 4.8\hspace{5em}\underset{ \textit{meal \& tip} }{\stackrel{ 32~~ + ~~4.8 }{\text{\LARGE 36.8}}}`
