Question

A waitress serves $950. Worth of dinners and recieves &95.00 in tips how much less in tips did she receive if she had gotten her 15% of the cost of meals

Answer 1

The amount less that she received than if she had received 15% of the cost of the meal is $47.5

Explanation:

Here we have the amount of dinners served by the waitress = $950

Amount received in tips = $95.00

Amount the waitress would have received if she had gotten 15% of the cost of meals served = 15/100 × $950 = $142.5

Therefore, since she received $95.00, the amount less that she received than if she had received 15% of the cost of the meal is thus;

$142.5 - $95 = $47.5.

Answer 2

She receives $47.5 less

Explanation:

Now, the first thing to do here is to calculate what 15% if the total amount is

That would be 15/100 * 950 = $142.5

The amount she receives less is thus $142.5 -$95 = $47.5
