James works as a waiter. He served meals with bills of $23.59, $40.65, $30.50, and $15.68. If his total for tips was $17.67, what percent tip did he receive for serving these meals? Round your answer to the nearest percent?

1. James works as a waiter.

He served food with the following price

=> 23.59 dollars

=> 40.65 dollars

=> 30.50 dollars

=> 15.68 dollars

Let’s add this altogether:

=> 23.59 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68

=> 110.42 the total of the ordered food.

Now, James received a tip of 17.67 dollars. Find the interest rate of his tip.

=> 110.42 *.50 = 55.21, thus the interest rate of tip is less than 50%

=> You can do trial and error to get the correct rate,

=> 110.42 *.16 = 17.67, thus he received 16% tip
