Arithmetic Reasoning

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?

In working as an ASVAB tutor, I include instruction on how to figure out tip.  Tip involves working with percentages. I remind my students that percentages is a very important topic on the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB.  Figuring out tip is very similar to figuring out sales tax.  The first step involves changing the percent to a decimal.  Do you know what the next step is?
