96

Answer 1

To find the percentage tip, subtract the tip amount from the total lunch cost, solve for 'x', divide the tip amount by the total cost, and multiply by 100 to get the percentage tip.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage tip, we need to first determine the amount of the tip. Let's call the total lunch cost before adding the tip 'x'. We can set up the equation x + x * (percentage tip in decimal form) = 32.24. Since the total lunch cost was $32.24 and the tip is a percentage of the total cost, we can find the value of 'x' by subtracting the tip amount from the total cost: x = 32.24 - x * (percentage tip in decimal form). Next, we need to solve this equation for 'x' to find the tip amount. Once we have the tip amount, we can divide it by the total lunch cost and multiply by 100 to find the percentage tip.

Answer 2

If their food and beverages cost $25.30 and there is an 8% meals tax, how much is the bill? the bill would be $27.31, after the tip, $32.24, meaning the tip would be $4.93, and that percentage would be %18.05

Step-by-step explanation:

8 percent of 25.30 is 2.01, add that up, 27.31, subtract 27.31 from 32.24, you get 4.93, figure out the percentage and boom, you got your answer
