Answer:
He paid 17% of the bill as a tip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Paid $35.75 for dinner at a restaurant, plus an additional $7.15 tip.
So in all, he paid 35.75 + 7.15 = $42.9
Tip as a percent:
Tip(7.15) multiplied by 100 and divided by the total(42.9). So
7.15*100/42.9 = 16.7%
Rounded to the nearest percent
He paid 17% of the bill as a tip.
