Answer
Attempt 1 out of 3

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount of the tip. We can do this by subtracting the cost of the meal from the total amount paid:

$24.70 - $19 = $5.70

Next, we can calculate the percent tip by dividing the tip amount by the cost of the meal, and then multiplying by 100:

($5.70 / $19) x 100 = 30%

So, Nora left a 30% tip.
