Answer:
A. Roughly 16%
B. D=x+T
Step-by-step explanation:
A. You want to leave a 16% tip on a meal that cost $19.
First, convert the 16% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 16%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "16%" becomes 16% / 100% = 0.16 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 16% of your $19 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.16 by $19.00, or
0.16 x $19.00=$3.04.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $3.04.
B. D=dinner bill. X= meal price, T=tip.
X+T=D or, D=X+T.
