You eat out and your meal was $8.95. you left $11.
what % tip was that? (to the nearest tenth of a percent) explainnn

123%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, eleven dollars even is very difficult to get. It is actually somewhere between 122 and 123% (I'd say probably 122.5% but that's not really possible so... I chose 123% which is only a penny over your actual price)

Okay, so, you want to leave a 123% tip on a meal that cost $8.95.

First, convert the 123% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 123%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "123%" becomes 123% / 100% = 1.23 in terms of a real mathematical number.

Second, you need to find out what 123% of your $8.95 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 1.23 by $8.95, or  1.23 x $8.95=$11.01.

So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $11.01, and the percentage is 123.  

Hope this helps! :)
