The amount of the tip is $75 - $64.50 = $10.50. To find the percent of the tip, we divide the tip amount by the total bill (including tip):
$10.50 / $75 ≈ 0.14 = 14%
So the approximate percentage of the tip is 14%, which is option A.
$10.50 / $75 ≈ 0.14 = 14%
So the approximate percentage of the tip is 14%, which is option A.
