Question

Alexa was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. Her dinner came to $14. After adding in a tip, before tax, she paid $17.78. Find the percent tip.

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount of the tip.

$17.78 - $14 = $3.78

Next, we need to find the percent tip:

($3.78 / $14) * 100 = 27%

So, Alexa left a 27% tip.
