Question

Maria's bill at the restaurant was $120. Caroline bill at the restaurant wad $80. If they both tip 20%, how much more will Maria's tip be than Laura's? ​

Answer 1

$8 or 50%

Explanation:

Maria's tip : 120*20/100 = 24

Caroline's tip: 80*20/100 = 16

Maria's tip is $8 more than Caroline's tip

Percentage increase :

`(24-16)/(16) 100\%\\\\= (8)/(16) 100\%\\\\\\ = (1)/(2) 100\%\\\\`

= 50%

Maria's tip is 50% more than Caroline's tip
