Question

You and your family go to dinner and you leave an 18% tip for the server. If the meal costs $52.50, how much should you leave for a tip? ​

Answer 1

You should leave a $9.45 tip.

Explanation:

Here is a simple way to do this. Break it down into easy percentages.

$52.50 is a 100% tip.

$5.25 is a 10% tip.

$.525 is a 1% tip.

Multiply $.525 by 8 to get an 8% tip.

The answer to that will be $4.20.

Now add $4.20 and $5.25 to get an 18% tip.

Your answer is $9.45.

Answer 2

Explanation:

52.5 x 0.18 = 9.45
