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)
51.75
37.90 + 15% = 43.58 Gratuity at 15% = 5.68
15 percent tip for 66.60 = 9.9915% of 66.60= 0.15 * 66.60= 9.99
