Final answer:

To calculate the total tip out, multiply the sales by the tip out percentages for each position and add up the tip amounts. In this case, the total tip out is $120.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total tip out, you need to find the individual tip amounts for the hostess, busser, bartender, and food runner. The tip out percentages may vary depending on the establishment, but let's assume they are as follows:

  • Hostess: 5%
  • Busser: 10%
  • Bartender: 15%
  • Food Runner: 10%

First, calculate the tip amounts for each position:

  • Hostess: $299.99 × 5% = $15.00
  • Busser: $299.99 × 10% = $30.00
  • Bartender: $299.99 × 15% = $45.00
  • Food Runner: $299.99 × 10% = $30.00

Next, add up the tip amounts to find the total tip out: $15.00 + $30.00 + $45.00 + $30.00 = $120.00

Therefore, you should tip out a total of $120.00 to the hostess, busser, bartender, and food runner.
