Question

The Hernandez family tipped their waitress $19 for a $95 dinner bill. What percent of the dinner bill did they leave for the tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Tip to waitress= $19

           Total dinner bill= $95

Now, finding the percent of dinner bill did family leave for the tip.

Percent of tip= $\frac{bill\ amount}{Total\ bill} \times 100$

⇒ Tip percentage= $\frac{19}{95} \times 100= 0.2\times 100$

∴ Tip percentage= 20%

Hence, 20% of the dinner bill did family leave for the tip.
