The cost of Bella's dinner is $24. She decides to leave a 15% tip. Which proportion could be used to determine the amount of the tip? What is the cost of the meal with the tip?
To determine the amount of the tip, we can set up a proportion.
Let's say x represents the amount of the tip.
The cost of the meal is $24.
The proportion can be set up as:
x/24 = 15/100
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
100x = 24 * 15
Now, let's calculate the tip:
100x = 360
x = 360/100
x = 3.6
Therefore, the amount of the tip is $3.6.
To find the cost of the meal with the tip, we add the tip amount to the cost of the meal:
Total cost = cost of the meal + tip amount
Total cost = $24 + $3.6
Total cost = $27.6
So, the cost of the meal with the tip is $27.6.
To determine the amount of the tip, you can set up a proportion.
Let's say x represents the amount of the tip. The cost of the meal without the tip is $24. The proportion can be set up as:
x / $24 = 15% / 100%
Now, to solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
x = ($24 * 15%) / 100%
x = ($24 * 0.15)
x = $3.60
Therefore, the tip amount is $3.60.
To find the cost of the meal with the tip, you need to add the cost of the meal to the amount of the tip.
Cost of the meal with the tip = Cost of the meal + Tip amount
Cost of the meal with the tip = $24 + $3.60
Cost of the meal with the tip = $27.60
Therefore, the cost of the meal with the tip is $27.60.
x/24 = 15/100
Now add that to the $24 price.
