Delilah and a group of friends had excellent service at a restaurant. They would like to give the server a 25 percent gratuity on their $140 bill. Use the diagram to identify the amount of the tip. Percent Total 25% 25% 25% 25% 100% $140 $

Answer 1

To determine how much they will leave as tip you have calculate the 25% of $140.

For this, first express the percentage as a decimal value:

$\frac{25}{100}=0.25$

Then multiply that value by the total amount of the bill:

$140\cdot0.25=35$

The amount of the tip will be $35
