Jerry left a $9.30 tip on a meal that cost 43$. what percent of the meals cost was the tip? what was the total cost of the meal including the tip.

Hey,

What is 9.3% of 43?

Y is 9.3% of 43

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y
Y = P% * X
Y = 9.3% * 43

Converting percent to decimal:
p = 9.3%/100 = 0.093

Y = 0.093 * 43 
Y = 3.999

So Jerry left a 3.9% tip for his meal!

And for the total cost of the meal 43.00+9.30=52.30

So the entire cost of the meal was $52.30

THAT A PRICY MEAL
