$17.75
$18.00
$19.50

Working the problem: Margaret required a lot of service to be performed by the hairdresser and she was very satisfied with that service. When the service and results are acceptable, giving 25% is customary. So we must now multiply $85.00 x 25% or $85.00 x .25 = $21.25.

Mark and Andrew both drove to a new arena and both went to the valet parking section. Mark drove a Ford Focus and Andrew drove a Porsche 911. What would be the total tip the valet attendant should get from the both of them?
$10.00
$7.00
$5.00
$4.00
Working the problem: Valet attendants do not get a percentage but rather get a tip based mostly on the type of the car and the distance that they need to travel to park and retrieve the car. As distance was not mentioned, we can only go off of the type of cars both Mark and Andrew drove. A Ford Focus is definitely a lower-end car compared to a Porsche 911. So Mark would pay the valet attendant $2.00 and Andrew would pay the attendant $5.00. $2.00 + $5.00 = $7.00
Solution: The valet attendant should get a total tip of $7.00.
Answer (b) is the correct answer

James took his date to a really fancy restaurant. He was shocked when he got his bill for $133.47, especially since the service wasn’t even all that good. The tax on the bill was for $12.02. James decided to only leave a 15% tip. How much of a tip did James leave?
$20.02
$18.22
$18.02
$17.92
Working the problem: First, as you do not pay a tip on taxes, you must subtract the taxes from the total bill. Here that would be $133.47 - $12.02 = $121.45. James is only going to leave a 15% tip so now we must multiply $121.45 x 15% or $121.45 x .15 = $18.22.

A group of 12 foreign officials rented a suite at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Francisco for $525.00 per night. They stayed for 6 nights. How much of a tip should the group leave the maid before they depart and what amount should each person pay in order to leave that tip?
$180.00 and $15.00
$72.00 and $6.00
$360.00 and $30.00
$240.00 and $20.00
Working the problem: This hotel is a high-end hotel and the customary rule for leaving a tip is $5.00 per day for 2 people. As we have 12 people we need to divide 12 ÷ 2 = 6. There are 6 sets of 2 people. Now we need to multiply $5.00 x 6 = $30.00. We now know that each day the maid should get a $30.00 tip. As the group stayed for 6 days we need to multiply $30.00 x 6 = $180.00. Now we need to find out what each person had to pay. Since there were 12 people, we need to divide $180.00 ÷ 12 = $15.00.
Solution: The group should leave the maid a tip of $180.00 and each person needs to pay $15.00 towards that $180.00 tip.

Nine ladies from the sewing circle went out to a restaurant to celebrate completing a quilt. The total bill came to $166.11 of which $15.00 was tax. They decided to leave an 18% tip. How much of a tip should they leave the waitress? In addition, each of the ladies will contribute the same amount towards the tip so how much will each lady have to contribute to the tip?
$24.20 and $2.92
$25.20 and $3.00
$26.20 and $3.04
$27.20 and $3.02
Working the problem: First, as you do not pay a tip on taxes, you must subtract the taxes from the total bill. Here that would be $166.11 - $15.00 = $151.11. We next know that they want to give an 18% tip so we need to multiply $151.11 x 18% or $151.11 x .18 = $27.20. As they will evenly pay the tip we must divide $27.20 ÷ 9 = $3.02.
Solution: The ladies will give the waitress a tip of $27.20 and each lady will contribute $3.02 toward that tip.
Answer (d) is the correct answer
Solution: The ladies will give the waitress a tip of $27.20 and each lady will contribute $3.02 toward that tip.
