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.
