Answer:

The tip was 15% of the meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of tip that miss Holman gave is 90 cent or $0.90

The total cost of the meal is $6.00

Let the tip is x% of the total cost of $6, so the amount of tip is,

[tex]=6\times \dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]

But as it given as $0.90, so

[tex]\Rightarrow 6\times \dfrac{x}{100}=0.90[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.90\times 100}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=15\%[/tex]

Therefore, miss Holman gave a generous 15% tip to the waitress for serving the meal.
