Richmond · Answer 1

A. The tip was $7.77

B. The percentage is about 18%

Jayden Rose · Answer 2

Tip: $7.77

Percentage of bill: 18.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the total is 49.77 and the total is the bill + tip, then the tip is 49.77 - 42 or $7.77. To find the percentage, we just calculate 7.77/42 as a percentage to get 1.11/6 = (111/6) % or 37/2 percent or 18.5%.
