The cost lunch is $29.40, and Maya $33.81 in all. What percent was the tip that Maya left?
Wouldn't it be 15%?
33.81 - 29.4 = 4.41
4.41/29.4 = 0.15 = 15%
15%
To find the percentage of the tip that Maya left, we need to compare the amount of the tip to the total cost of the lunch.
First, let's subtract the total cost of the lunch (including the tip) from the amount Maya paid:
$33.81 - $29.40 = $4.41
This remaining amount ($4.41) represents the tip that Maya left.
To find the percentage, we divide the amount of the tip by the total cost of the lunch and then multiply by 100:
($4.41 / $29.40) * 100 = 15.00
So, the tip that Maya left was 15% of the total cost of the lunch.
