Question

You're in charge of evening entertainment for an important client group. You use the company credit card to take their four representatives out to dinner. Two (2) people order the steak entrée for $32.50. Two (2) people order the grilled tuna for $28.90, and you order the lasagna for $24.95. When the bill comes, you tip 20%. What is the amount of tip you leave? $ _____

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Tip = Total cost of dinner × 20%

Tip = [ 2 ( 32.5 ) + 2 ( 28.9 ) + 24.95 ] × 20%

Tip = [ 65 + 57.8 + 24.95 ] × 20%

Tip = [ 147.75 ] × 20%

Tip = $29.55

Therefore, the amount of tip you leave is $29.55.

Hope this helps! <3
