Answer:

$194.69

Explanation:

The best way to predict the amount of tips is using this formula:


100((Tips(total))/(Customers(total)) )

This finds the average tip per customer with all of the data, and multiplies it by 100 to get the predicted amount of tips for 100 customers.

Plugging in the data from the table gives you this equation:


100((1174)/(603) )

This equals $194.69.
