You want to leave a tip for your server that is 20% of the food costs. Find the tip if the meal cost is $133.1.5

Verified Answer :

If the food cost is $133.15. 
you would take that and subtract 80%. leaves you with 
($
26.63)/  Your tip cost.
I got taught this way..... since 100%- 80%=20%(your tip) 
you take, 133.15 - 80%($106.52) it gave me the total of the tip $26.63(20%)
Hope this helps =) and wasn't too confusing..

this is what my parents make me do in restaurants,

tip is 20%
20%=10%+10%

finding 10% is easy, just move the decimal place one to the left
then 20% is double of that so double it
133.15
move 1 down and double
13.315
double
36.63
tip is $36.63
