Arithmetic Reasoning
Yesterday I presented a question about tip which involves the use of percentages.
The question was: If Mike dined at a restaurant and his bill came to $25.00 and he wants to give a 15% tip, how much would he leave for the tip?
Figuring out tip involves working with percents. To find tip, it is necessary to change the percent to a decimal. Changing percent to decimal involves moving the decimal 2 places to the left.
15% = .15
Then multiply $25 x .15 = $3.75
The tip is $3.75.
Did you know how to solve this problem?
