Question

A typical tip in a restaurant is​ 15% of the total bill. If the bill is ​$90​, what would the typical tip​ be?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the tip be x.

You have to take 15% of 90 to get x.

The equation looks like

15/100 * 90 = x         Multiply the numerator of the fraction by 90

1350/100 = x            Divide by 100    

x = 13.50

So the tip is 13.50

There are other ways you could do this problem, but I think this is the most easily understood.
