Question

. Four friends ate dinner at a restaurant. The bill was $51.89. They also left a $9 tip. Approximately what percent of the total bill did they leave as a tip?

Answer 1

Approximately 17%

Explanation:

To find what percent 9 is of 51.89, you have to divide 9 by 51.89.

9/51.89 is 0.17344...

Since they said approximately, you can round 0.17344 to 0.17, which is equal to 17%.
