Question 2 of 5
If he left a tip of $36 on a total bill of $200, what percentage of the total bill did he leave as a tip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the tip percentage left, divide the tip amount ($36) by the total bill amount ($200), then multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: (36/200) x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he left an 18% tip on the total bill amount. Choice A (16%) is incorrect because the correct calculation results in 18%. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (22%) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage based on the provided numbers.
