The amount given as a tip was Rs. 29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we total up the cost of the food alone. The bill consists of soup for Rs. 130, lunch for Rs. 450, Dessert for Rs. 120. The distilled water was complimentary so it is not included in the bill. So the bill amount was 130 + 450 + 120 = Rs. 700
Step 2; The tip was for the bill amount excluding dessert. So bill amount without dessert = 130 + 450 = Rs. 580. We need to calculate how much 5% of Rs. 580 is.
5% of Rs. 580 = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] × 580 = 0.05 × 580 = Rs. 29.
