Jim’s total bill for lunch is $20. The cost of his drink is 15% of the bill. What is the percent of the total food cost? What was the cost of his food?
The percent is 85 percent since 15 percent is the drink so you subtract 15 from 100 to get 85 percent . The cost is 17 dollars because 20 times 85 percent or 0.85 is 17. So your answers are $17 and 85 percent
