Question

You want to leave a tip for a meal that costs $17.95. If all you have is $3.00, what percentage tip will you be able to leave?

Answer 1

3/17.95 = about 17%, slightly less though. about 16.7%

divide $3 by $17.95 to get the percentage

If the meal had been $18

then the percentage would have been 3/18 = 1/6 = half of 33% or 16.666....%

that's 16 2/3% but for !7.95, it's a little higher percent.
