Question

Your restaurant bill was $25.00. You generously tipped the waiter 20% of that amount. How much was the tip?

Answer 1

$5

Explanation:

Basically, we're trying to find out what's 20% of 25

We can set up a proportion for this!

`(x)/(25) =(20)/(100)` where x represents how much was the tip

To solve for x, multiply 25 and 20 then divide that by 100

25 × 20 = 500

500 ÷ 100 = 5

The tip was $5
