Answer:
Given : Michael and Imani go out to eat for lunch.
their food and beverages cost $25.30
8% meals tax,
After adding a tip, the total lunch cost was $32.24
To Find : how much is the bill
What percentage tip did they give?
Solution:
food and beverages cost $25.30
8% meals tax,
Tax = (8/100) 25.3 = 2.02 $
BILL = 25.30 + 2.02
= 27.32 $
BILL = 27.32 $
After adding a tip, the total lunch cost was $32.24.
=> Tip = 32.24. - 27.32 = 4.92$
% of Tip = (4.92 / 27.32) * 100 = 18 %
Tip = 18 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part A: $28.46
Part B: 8.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
We know that in this equation that 25.30 is the 100% number and we need to find 8% of this.
We can then divide 8 by 25.30 which is 3.1625 but the problem asks us to "round to the nearest cent" so we then know that the 8% is $3.16 we have to then add the 8% to the total which would be: 25.30 + 3.16 which equals $28.46 which is your answer to Part A.
Part B:
After adding a tip that problem states that the total went up from $28.46 to $32.24 to find out how much they tipped we can minus these 2 totals to find the difference
32.24 - 28.46 = 3.78
We now know that they tipped $3.78 and we now need to convert this into a percentage.
Right now the whole 100% is $32.24, we then divided 32.24 by 3.78 which would be 8.5291 and so on but wo round this it would be 8.5%
The answer to Part B would be 8.5%
