Q. Ayden was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. His dinner came to $35. After adding in a tip, before tax, he paid $42.35. Find the percent tip.Answer: _________%
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.Tip Amount = Total Paid - Original Dinner CostTip Amount = $42.35 - $35.00Tip Amount = $7.35
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 100 to get the percentage.Percent Tip = (Tip Amount/Original Dinner Cost)×100Percent Tip = ($7.35/$35.00)×100Percent Tip = 0.21×100Percent Tip = 21%
