Q. Taub was out at a restaurant for dinner when the bill came. Her dinner came to $23 \$ 23 . After adding in a tip, before tax, she paid $30.36 \$ 30.36 . Find the percent tip.\newlineAnswer: _________% \%
  1. Find Tip Amount: First, we need to find the amount of the tip that Taub left. To do this, we subtract the cost of the dinner from the total amount she paid.\newlineTip Amount = Total Paid - Cost of Dinner\newline= $30.36\$30.36 - $23.00\$23.00\newline= $7.36\$7.36
  2. Calculate Percent Tip: Next, we calculate the percent tip based on the cost of the dinner. The percent tip is the tip amount divided by the cost of the dinner, then multiplied by 100100 to convert it to a percentage.\newlinePercent Tip = (Tip Amount/Cost of Dinner)×100(\text{Tip Amount} / \text{Cost of Dinner}) \times 100\newline= ($7.36/$23.00)×100(\$7.36 / \$23.00) \times 100\newline= 0.32×1000.32 \times 100\newline= 32%32\%
