Andy’s total bill for lunch is $20. The cost of the drink is 15% of the total bill and the rest is the cost of the food. What percent of the total bill did Andy’s food cost and what were the cost of his food

1 answer

The cost of the drink is 15% of the total bill, which means it is 0.15 * $20 = $3.

The cost of the food is the remaining amount after subtracting the cost of the drink from the total bill, so it is $20 - $3 = $17.

Therefore, the cost of Andy's food was $17 and it made up 85% of the total bill ($17 is 85% of $20).
