Question

If you leave a $10.50 tip for the waiter on a meal that cost $58.25, what percent tip did you leave? 12% 18% 6% 3%

Answer 1

That would be (10.50 / 58.25) * 100

= 18%  answer

Answer 2

The percentage is 18%.
You must take the tip over the amount the meal costed.
$10.50 \div 58.25$
This then equals about 0.18 which when converted into a percentage is 18%
