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 $75. The waitress gets $45 and the hostess gets $30. If they continue to earn money at this rate, how many dollars will the waitress receive if they earn $350 at the end of the shift?

Ratio of Waitress to hostess money = 45/30 = 3/2

So, the ratio of waitress earning to total earning = 3/5

If they earn 350, waitress will receive = 350 * 3/5 = 210

So, your final answer is $210

Hope this helps!
