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 the answer to the nearest percent
Add up all the costs of the meal to a single dollar value. In this problem, the number happens to be 110.42 dollars. We then find the percentage of tips from this total value by dividing total tips by total cost of meals to get tips/meal. The percentage is 16% or the decimal 0.16. The double check is the bottom line of the image. Hope this helped :))))))
