Two friends, alejandro and mia, agreed to split the check at a restaurant. alejandro ordered $12 worth of food and mia ordered $18 worth. at the end of the meal, alejandro put his $12 contribution on the table, plus a $20% tip on his bill and mia put her $18 contribution on the table, plus a $15% tip on her bill. the total tip left by alejandro and mia is equal to r% of the total check for their table, where the "total check" amount does not include the tip. what is r?

Cost of Alejandro's food = $12

Tip paid by Alejandro = 20% of his bill = 20% of 12 = 2.4

Cost of Mia's food = $18

Tip paid by Mia = 15% of his bill = 15% of 18 = 2.7

Total Tip Paid = 2.4+2.7 = 5.1

Total Check Amount = 12 + 18 = 30

Total tip paid by Alejandro and Mia is r% of the total check amount.

So, we need to determine what % of 30 is equal to 5.1%

⇒ r% × 30 = 5.1

⇒ r% = 5.1 / 30

⇒ r% = 17%

Hence, r is 17%

could you give more information?

its a little blurry tbh
