How to find the percentage from the total value?
Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'
Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%
Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).
Thus, that thing in number is
[tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]
For this case, we can assume the amount of bill without tip being A.
Then, as given, Payton gave 19.5% tip (tip is given assumingly on A), then:
Total price of the bill = Bill amount before tip + Tip
44.85 = A + (19.5 % of A)
(we don't write symbols like of currency generally in equations, and understand it from context(which is dollars here))
44.85 = A + (19.5 % of A)
or
[tex]44.85 = A + \dfrac{A}{100} \times 19.5\\\\\text{Multiplying 100 on both the sides}\\\\4485 = 100A + 19.5A\\4485 = 119.5A\\\\\text{Dividing both the sides by 119.5}\\\\\dfrac{4485}{119.5} = A\\\\37.53 \approx A\\\\A \approx 37.53 \: \rm \text{(in dollars)}[/tex]
Thus, the amount of the bill before adding the amount of tip is evaluated being of $37.53 approx.
