Jose has $18 to spend for dinner what is the maximum amount he spend on meal and drinks so that he can leave a 15% tip? what percent of 60 is 18?

$15.30

30% of 60 is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum amount he can spend on a meal, you have to find how  much he is going to tip.

So to find the tip you multiply 15% by 18 and you get 2.7

Then you subtract 18 by 2.7 to find out how much he can spend on the meal.

18 - 2.7 = 15.30

So he can spend $15.30 on his meal and tip $2.70

To find what percent of 60 is 18, you have to use this equation:

is over of equals percent over 100

So is/of = x/100 We have the x as the percent because that's what you're trying to figure out.

You would put 18 as is because it has the word is before it and put 60 as of because it has of before it.

So 18/60 = x/100

Now you would do Cross Product Property

18*100 = 1800

60*x = 60x

60x = 1800

Now divide 60 by itself and by 1800

1800/60 = 30

x = 30%

sorry can't
