Solution:
Given that James goes out to eat
The subtotal of his food is $ 84.52
He left a $ 6 tip
To find: percent of tip left
Let "x" be the percent of tip
x percent of $ 84.52 is equal to $ 6
Therefore, we frame a equation as:
[tex]x \% \text{ of } 84.52 = 6[/tex]
Solve the above expression for x
[tex]x \% \times 84.52 = 6\\\\\frac{x}{100} \times 84.52 = 6\\\\84.52x = 600\\\\x = \frac{600}{84.52}\\\\x = 7.09 \approx 7[/tex]
Thus 7 % of subtotal amount $ 84.52 is left as tip
