Answer 2

Answer:

The waitress receive $195 if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

The waitress and hostess at a restaurant share the tips at the end of every shift.

They earn an average of $90.00 in tips.

The waitress takes $65.00

Waitress Share fraction =$\frac{65}{90}$

The hostess takes $25.00

Hostess Share fraction =$\frac{25}{90}$

Now we are supposed to find how much will the waitress receive if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift

So, Waitress Share =$\frac{65}{90} \times 270=195$

Hence The waitress receive $195 if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift
