Answer:
D) 16%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the dinner including taxes = $64.50
Amount paid by you = $75
So, the tip given to the waiter = 75 - 64.50 = 10.50
Now,
We need to find out the percentage of the tip paid on the bill.
i.e., How much percent of 64.50 is 10.50
64.50 ——- 10.50
100 ——- ?
Cross multiplying;
(100 x 10.50)/64.50
= 16.27% ~ 16%
Therefore, the tip given is approximately 16% of the bill paid
