Question

The Jacksons dinner cost $125. They left $21. 25 for a tip. What percent did they tip?

Answer 1

16.8% or 17%. if you divide 21 by 125 and move the decimal place you will get it.

Answer 2

Answer:-

17%

Step-by-step explanation:-

Given,

Cost of the dinner = $125

Amount of tip given = $21.25

Now,

Required percentage =
`(21.25)/(125) * 100 = 17\%`

Hence, the tip was 17% of the total cost of dinner.
