Question

The tip for a $78.00 restaurant bill is 9.20. What is the tip for a $21.50 meal?

Answer 1

$2.54

Explanation:

Tips are percentages of the meal prices. Divide the tip by the meal price to find the percentage that the tip is of the meal.

9.20/78.00 = 0.118 = 11.8%

Multiply the second meal by the percentage calculated.

21.5 × 0.118 = 2.54

The tip for the second meal is $2.54
