The amount of the tip is 5.40 and the total bill would be 41.40
36.51
Set up the equation as follows, with x representing the unknown number: x * % = tip (substitute with the known numbers, 15% is expressed as .15) x * .15 = 5.25 (divide both side by .15 to solve the initial amount of the bill) x = 35.00 (this is the initial amount of the bill) 35.00 + 5.25 = 40.25 (this is the total amount, including the tip)
I'd leave at least a 15% tip, but 10% estimated of $27.00 would be about $3. But I'd just drop a 5.
It depends on TAX and the number of PEOPLE paying. So, DIVIDE.

Tip
No tip on the whole bill.
-- Remember that "15 percent" means 0.15 . -- Multiply the bill by that number to calculate the tip.

If the total of your bill is $249.10 and you want to leave a 15 percent tip it would be $37.37.
18% of 88 is 15.84
Set up the equation as follows, with x representing the unknown number: x * % = tip (substitute with the known numbers, 15% is expressed as .15) x * .15 = 5.25 (divide both side by .15 to solve the initial amount of the bill) x = 35.00 (this is the initial amount of the bill) 35.00 + 5.25 = 40.25 (this is the total amount, including the tip)
If it was also 15%, it came to $5.18. If it wasn't, it didn't.
A tip on a bill is an increase. If you were to decrease you wouldn't be paying the full bill much less addinga tip.
The tip would be 8.88 Divide the bill by 10 - giving 5.92. Divide that figure by 2 - giving 2.96 (this is 5% !) Add the two figures together, and the result is 15% of the bill.
