Question

The Hernandez family tipped their waitress $19 for a $95 dinner bill. What percent of the dinner bill did they leave for the tip?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

Given: Tip to waitress= $19

Total dinner bill= $95

Now, finding the percent of dinner bill did family leave for the tip.

Percent of tip=
`(bill\ amount)/(Total\ bill) * 100`

⇒ Tip percentage=
`(19)/(95) * 100= 0.2* 100`

∴ Tip percentage= 20%

Hence, 20% of the dinner bill did family leave for the tip.
