Answer:


8\%

Explanation:

Since question already gives the number of dollars she will tip, I'm assuming it's asking for percent tipped.

Because the total is $75 and Theresa is tipping $6, she is tipping
(6)/(75)=0.08 of the total. To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:
0.08\implies 0.08\cdot 100=\boxed{8\%}
