Answer 1

Leon earns $7.80 per hour

he works for 6 hours

Then he earns 7.80 * 6 = $46.8

He also takes 23% of the tips

The restaurant receives $240 in tips

He takes 23% of 240

Change 23% to decimal by divide it by 100

23% = 23/100 = 0.23

Multiply it by 240

he takes 0.23 * 240 = $55.2

Now let us find his total earns

The total = 46.8 + 55.2 = $102

His income is 102 dollars
