20 is what percent of 16?

Reading through the problem we have "20 is", that's

"20 equals", "what percent", "x/100", "of 16", times 16.

So we have the equation 20 = x/100 · 16.

So cross-canceling the 16 and 100 to 4 and 25, we have 20 = 4x/25.

Multiply both sides by 25 to get rid of the

fraction and we have 500 = 4x so 125 = x.

Remember the =question is asking for "what percent"

so we should write our answer as 125%.

Finally, check to see if the answer makes sense.

Does "20 is 125% of 16" make sense?

sorry if this isnt what you're looking for i dont really understand the question

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
