Katherine is a waitress at a restaurant. Each day she works, Katherine will make a guaranteed wage of $20, however the additional amount that Katherine earns from tips depends on the number of tables she waits on that day. From past experience, Katherine noticed that she will get about $7 in tips for each table she waits on. How much would Katherine expect to earn in a day on which she waits on 11 tables? How much would Katherine expect to make in a day when waiting on tt tables?

$97.


If Katherine’s wage is $20 the whole day and if she averages about $7 from each table and waits 11, she would get $97. 11 x 7 = 77 + 20 = 97.
