Question 922898: Find the percent. Round to the nearest percent: $2.25 tip on a cab fare of $14
I have tried this problem already and got lost and confused. I don't know if I'm supposed to add $2.25 to the $14 and then find the percentage or just convert the $14 into a percent the way it is. It might also be finding $2.25 as a percent and not worry about the $14 at all.

Find the percent. Round to the nearest percent: $2.25 tip on a cab fare of $14
--------
Quantity Increase:: 2.25
Percent Increase:: 2.25/14 = 0.16 = 16%
