Tom and Martin worked 9 hours this week.

These are their hourly wages:

Tom: $2.15

Martin: $2.50

This means that:

Tom earned 9 x $2.15 in wages, which is equal to $19.35.

Martin earned 9 x $2.50 in wages, which is equal to $22.50.

--------------------

Now, we've been told that Tom and Martin sold $360 worth
of meals but we were not told how much they received in tips.

For all intents and purposes, let's say that they received $n
in tips. 15% of $n in tips would be less than 20% of $n
in tips. Now, Martin is already going to be receiving a higher
wage, and the fact that he is going to be receiving 20% of
$n in tips compounds the logical conclusion that at the end
of the week, he'd be leaving work with more money than Tom.

Answer:

Martin made more money than Tom.
