Question

delilah and a group of friends had excellent service at a restaurant. they would like to give the server a 25 percent gratuity on their $140 bill. use the diagram to identify the amount of the tip.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the percentage relationship

The total bill is $140 (100%), and the tip is 25%.

Step2: Calculate the tip amount

Since 25% of 100% is the proportion for the tip relative to the total bill. We know that to find a percentage \(p\%\) of a number \(N\), the formula is \(N\times\frac{p}{100}\). Here \(N = 140\) and \(p = 25\). So the tip amount \(T=140\times\frac{25}{100}\).
