Q. Ayden was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. His dinner came to $35 \$ 35 . After adding in a tip, before tax, he paid $\$4242.3535. Find the percent tip.\newlineAnswer: _________% \%
  1. Calculate Tip Amount: First, we need to determine the amount of the tip Ayden left. To do this, we subtract the original dinner cost from the total amount he paid.\newlineTip Amount = Total Paid - Original Dinner Cost\newlineTip Amount = $42.35\$42.35 - $35.00\$35.00\newlineTip Amount = $7.35\$7.35
  2. Calculate Percent Tip: Next, we calculate the percent tip based on the original dinner cost. The percent tip is found by dividing the tip amount by the original dinner cost and then multiplying by 100100 to get the percentage.\newlinePercent Tip = (Tip Amount/Original Dinner Cost)×100(\text{Tip Amount} / \text{Original Dinner Cost}) \times 100\newlinePercent Tip = ($7.35/$35.00)×100(\$7.35 / \$35.00) \times 100\newlinePercent Tip = 0.21×1000.21 \times 100\newlinePercent Tip = 21%21\%
