Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of Service charge = 12.5%

To find :

How much did he pay for the meal (Selling price)

$\boxed{\tt{S.P.=\dfrac{100\%+S\%}{100\%}\times\:C.P.}}$

Where,

S.P. = Selling price

S% = Percentage of Service charge

C.P. = Cost price

Solution :

$:\Rightarrow\tt{S.P.=\dfrac{100\%+12.5\%}{100\%}\times150}$

$:\Rightarrow\tt{S.P.=\dfrac{112.5\%}{\cancel{100\%}}\times\cancel{150}}$

$:\Rightarrow\tt{S.P.=112.5\%\times1.5}$

$:\Rightarrow\tt{S.P.=Rs.168.75}$

So , the Selling price of the meal or the money I pay is ₹168.75 .
