Question

Someone left a $5.oo tip which was 20% of the bill. How much was the bill..?

Answer 1

$25, but why are we doing your homework?

Answer 2

Here's how to set up the equation in a fraction form that will work everytime.  A percentage is always out of 100... remember that and you can figure these out easily.

$5 over x divided by 20 over 100.  So...

5/x / 20/100. Cross multiply..... and you get 20x=500 and then you divide it out from there.  500 divided by 20 then gives you your answer of x=25.  SO $25!

Answer 3

That would be $25.

Answer 4

$25.00   25x0.2 = 5        0.2 being 20%

Answer 5

$25.00

Answer 6

$25
