Answer 1

the waitress will receive $195 in tips te hostess will get 75

Answer 2

The waitress receive $195 if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift.

Explanation:

The waitress and hostess at a restaurant share the tips at the end of every shift.

They earn an average of $90.00 in tips.

The waitress takes $65.00

Waitress Share fraction =
`(65)/(90)`

The hostess takes $25.00

Hostess Share fraction =
`(25)/(90)`

Now we are supposed to find how much will the waitress receive if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift

So, Waitress Share =
`(65)/(90) * 270=195`

Hence The waitress receive $195 if they earn $270.00 at the end of the shift
