Greetings!
To find the percentage of something you need to use the percentage formula:
Original amount x ([tex]\frac{percentage}{100}[/tex])
So to find the amount of taxes, which is 6.5%, simply need to plug these values into that equation:
79.95 x ([tex]\frac{6.5}{100}[/tex]) = 5.2
So the taxes were $5.20!
To find the 20%, simply plug the values into the same percentage formula:
79.95 x ([tex]\frac{x20}{100}[/tex]) = 15.99
So the tip would be $15.99!
Hope this helps!
Answer: $ 5.20 will be paid as tax.
$15.99 will be paid as tip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Restaurant bill = $79.95.
Local sales tax = 6.5%=0.065 [we divide percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal or fraction]
Tax amount = (Local sales tax) x (Restaurant bill )
= (0.065)x ( $79.95)
= $ 5.19675 ≈ $ 5.20 [ approx]
Hence, $ 5.20 will be paid as tax.
Tip Percentage = 20%= 0.20
Tip amount = (Tip percentage) x (Restaurant bill )
= (0.20) x ($79.95)
=$15.99
Hence, $15.99 will be paid as tip.
