Question 9

The Harringtons go to a restaurant for lunch and their bill is $86.20. After 6.5% tax and tip, they pay a total of $100. If the Harringtons were exceptionally pleased with their service, decide if their tip reflected this. Explain your reasoning.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

After 6.5% tax, the bill was about $91.80, so the tip was about $8.20. That is roughly 9.5% of the original $86.20 bill, which is below the usual 15–20% range. If the Harringtons were exceptionally pleased, their tip did not reflect that.
