Answer:
[tex]\%Tip = 13.04\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Tip= \$31.29[/tex]
[tex]Bill = \$208.60[/tex]
Required
Determine the percentage of the tip
First, we calculate the amount paid
[tex]Amount = Tip + Bill[/tex]
[tex]Amount = \$31.29 + \$208.60[/tex]
[tex]Amount = \$239.89[/tex]
The percentage of the tip is then calculated using:
[tex]\%Tip = \frac{Tip}{Amount} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Tip = \frac{31.29}{239.89} * 100\%[/tex]
[tex]\%Tip = \frac{31.29* 100}{239.89} \%[/tex]
[tex]\%Tip = \frac{3129}{239.89} \%[/tex]
[tex]\%Tip = 13.04\%[/tex]
