Question

Jacob was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. His dinner came to $18. After adding in a tip, before tax, he paid $20.70 find the percent tip

Answer 1

What you have to do is just add 18 plus what equals to 20 so you would get 2

Answer 2

Jacob left a 15% tip on his dinner bill.

To find the percent tip Jacob left, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with the initial bill amount, which is $18.

2. Subtract the initial bill amount from the total amount paid to find the tip amount:

Tip = Total amount paid - Initial bill amount

Tip = $20.70 - $18

Tip = $2.70

3. Now, we want to find the percent tip. To do this, divide the tip amount by the initial bill amount and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:

Percent Tip = (Tip / Initial bill amount) * 100

Percent Tip = ($2.70 / $18) * 100

Percent Tip = (0.15) * 100

Percent Tip = 15%
