Question

Miss Holman have a 90-cent tip to a waitress for serving a meal costing $6.00. What percent of the bill was her tip?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cost of meal = $6

Amount of tip = $0.90

To calculate the tip as a percentage of the total cost, divide amount

of tip by the total cost and multiply the result by 100;

Percentage of tip = (amount of tip/cost of meal ) *100

= (0.90 / 6)*100

= 0.15 *100

= 15%

Therefore Miss Holman tipped the waitress 15% of the total cost of the meal
