Question

James works as a waiter. He served meals with bills of $23.59, $40.65, $30.50, and $15.68. If his total for tips was $17.67, what percent tip did he receive for serving these meals? Round your answer to the nearest percent?

Answer 1

Total tips: $17.67

Total meals: 23.50 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68 = $110.42


Percentage = $\frac{total.tips}{total.meals} = \frac{17.65}{110.42} = 0.159844...=$ about 16%

Answer 2

As per linear equation, the percentage of the bill he got as a tip is 16%.

What is a linear equation?

"A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation."

Here, James served meals with bills of $23.59, $40.65, $30.50, and $15.68.

Therefore total bill of the meals is

= $(23.59 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68)

= $110.42

He got tips of $17.67.

Therefore, the percentage of the bill he got as a tip is

= ($17.67/$110.42) × 100%

= 16.003%

≈ 16%
