Answer: None of.the above

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a waiter claims he made tips that were 221% more than his wage for the day.

Assuming the waiter made $25 for his wage, the number of tips that he made would be calculated as:

= $25 + (221% × $25)

= $25 + (2.21 × $25)

= $25 + $55.25

= $80.25

Since the answer isn't given in the option, the answer will be None of the above
