The bill for a family of four at a restaurant was $ 62. Simon paid $ 72 for the meal and tip. How much was the tip? What percent was the tip?
72 - 62 = $10
10/62 = 0.1612 = about 16% tip
10
Marshall knows that 0.01 is equal th 10 to the negative 2 how would he represent this using fractions?
To find the tip amount, we need to subtract the cost of the meal from the total amount paid. The cost of the meal can be obtained by subtracting the tip amount from the total amount paid.
Cost of the meal = Total amount paid - Tip
Let's calculate the cost of the meal:
Cost of the meal = $72 - $62
Cost of the meal = $10
Now, to find the tip amount, we deduct the cost of the meal from the total amount paid:
Tip amount = Total amount paid - Cost of the meal
Tip amount = $72 - $10
Tip amount = $62
Therefore, the tip amount is $10.
To find the percentage of the tip, we can divide the tip amount by the cost of the meal and multiply by 100.
Percentage of the tip = (Tip amount / Cost of the meal) * 100
Let's calculate the percentage:
Percentage of the tip = ($10 / $62) * 100
Percentage of the tip ≈ 16.13%
Therefore, the tip is approximately 16.13% of the total bill.
