What is the percentage?

In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum "by a hundred") is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

A restaurant bill before tax is $15.50.

If the sales tax is 8% and a 15% tip is added.

The total cost of the meal is;

[tex]\rm Total \ cost = Bill \ amount + Sales \ tax + Tip\\\\ Total \ cost = 15.50 + 15.50 \times \dfrac{8}{100} + 15.50 \times \dfrac{15}{100}\\\\ Total \ cost = 15.50+1.24+2.32\\\\ Total \ cost = 19.065[/tex]

Hence, the total cost of the meal is $19.065.
