Answer 2

Answer: The tip left for the servers was $14.80

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Total cost of the food (before tax) = $82.25
• Tip = 18% of the amount before the tax

So, to calculate the tip we have to multiply the cost of the food before tax ($82.25) by the 0.18 (percentage in decimal form, 18/100= 0.18).

Mathematically speaking:

82.25 x 0.18 = $14.80

The tip left for the servers was $14.80
