Question

1.3. Kendra is serving two tables at the diner where she works. At the first table, the bill was $37.40, and she received 15% of the bill amount as a tip. At the second table, the bill was $34.50, and the tip was 18% of the bill amount. At which table did Kendra receive the bigger tip, and how much more did she get? A. first table; $1.56 B. first table; $2.90 C. second table; $0.60 D. second table; $6.21

Answer 1

c. second table; $0.60

Answer 2

The correct answer option is C. second table; $0.60.

Explanation:

For the first table the bill was $37.40 for which Kendra received a tip of 15% of the total bill. So the tip for first table will be:

`(15)/(100)` ×
`37.50` =
`$5.61`

For the second table, the bill was $34.50 for which Kendra received a tip of 18%, so the tip for the second table will be:

`(18)/(100)` ×
`34.50` =
`$6.21`

Difference between the two tips = 6.21 - 5.61 = $0.06

Kendra received a bigger tip at the second table which was $0.06 more than the tip from the other table.
