Given,

A reasonable tip for some is 15% of the subtotal.

We need to write an expression that would represent how much tip you should leave if x represented the subtotal.

How to write the percentage of a quantity?

Let the quantity be 100.

5% of 100 = 5/100 x 100 = 5

10% of 100 = 10/100 x 100 = 10

50% of 100 = 50/100 x 100 = 50

We have,

Subtotal = x

Tip = 15%

Write the expression for 15% of x

15% of x

= 15/100 x (x)

= 0.15x

Thus the expression is 0.15x.
