Question

Susan is a waitress at the country club restaurant. She receives an automatic 15% tip which is added to the members check for the meal. If she earns $2.15 an hour, works 20 hours this week and has served meals costing $325, what is her gross pay?

$365


$91.75


$175


$368

Answer 1

$91.75

Explanation:

She earns $2.15 an hour and worked 20 hours this week so

20 × 2.15 = 43 and she earned 15% tip off the meals she served

to calculate how much 15% of 325 does we multiply 325 with 15 and divide it with 100

325 × 15 ÷ 100 = 48.75

48.75 + 43 = 91.75
