Bill of the parties is $638.40 .

15% is written in the decimal form

`= (15)/(100)`

= 0.15

Thus

Service charge = 0.15 × Bill of the parties .

= 0.15 × $638.40

= $ 95.76

Therefore service charge added to a bill of $638.40 is $95.76 .

Answer 2

In restaurants, especially the fine dining ones, the bill includes a service charge. This payment is intended for the service given by the restaurant crew to make your experience in their premises worthwhile.

The service charge accounts for a fixed percentage of your total expenses. If your total expenses amount to $638.40, then the service charge would be equal to 638.4(0.15) = $95.7. Therefore, $95.7 will be added to your original bill.
