Question

Daniel is a waiter in a restaurant. He is in charge of five tables. Three of the tables seat four people, and two of the tables seat two people. The restaurant told him to expect three parties of people at each table each

night. Daniel was told that he would receive between $2.00 to $2.50 tip per person.
Part A. How much can Daniel ESTIMATE he will receive in tips each night?
Tips per nights
Part B. Explain how you arrived at this decision

Answer 1

part A : $36

Explanation:

part B : calculate no. of people each night

no. of tables accommodating 4 people ( no. of people that can be accommodated on one such table) + no. of tables accommodating 2 people ( no. of people that can be accommodated on such table)

=> 3(4) + 2(2)

=> 16 people

assumed amount of tip that will be earned each night per person : $ 2.25

amount of estimated tip per night => 16 x 2.25 => $ 36
