To find out how much of a tip Molly should leave today, we need to calculate the tip amount at the same rate as yesterday.
First, we need to determine the tip amount from yesterday's meal. Molly's lunch cost $9.80, and she left a $1.49 tip. To find the tip rate, we divide the tip amount by the cost of the meal:
Tip rate = tip amount / cost of the meal
Tip rate = $1.49 / $9.80
Now, let's calculate the tip rate:
Tip rate = 0.1520
Molly's lunch today cost $12.60. To find out how much she should tip, we multiply the cost of the meal by the tip rate:
Tip amount = cost of the meal * tip rate
Tip amount = $12.60 * 0.1520
Now, let's calculate the tip amount:
Tip amount = $1.9152
Therefore, Molly should leave a tip of approximately $1.92 today if she tips at the same rate as yesterday.
