Question

The waitress and the hostess at a restaurant share the tips at the end of the shift. The average amount earned in tips between the two of them is $50. The waitress gets $30 and the hostess gets $20. If they continue to earn money at this rate, how many dollars will the waitress receive if they earn $200 at the end of the shift? A. $100 B. $120 C. $133 D. $122

Answer 1

they split $50 dollars. the waitress gets $30 and the other $20 goes to the hostess. there are 4, 50's in 200 so the waitress gets 30+30+30+30=120 and the hostess gets $80

Answer 2

so the waitress gets 3/5 of the money and the hostess gets 2/5. 3/5 of $200 would be $120. Therefore the answer is B.
