Leaving a Tip As a courtesy it is always nice to leave a tip when someone does something nice for you. Many different types of professions work for tips A pizza delivery man A waiter or waitress A hairdresser or barber Usually the amount of tip depends on how well you think the service was.
Leaving a Tip If you get really good service at a restaurant it is usually due to having a good waitress. A good tip for a waitress is 18%. If the service was not as well as you liked then you can leave a smaller tip such as 10% or 5%.

Leaving a Tip You and a friend go to lunch. The check comes to $24.85. Figure out how much you should tip if you want to leave 15%. Now solve using a calculator. Find 15% of 24.85 Change 15% to a decimal = 0.15 x 24.85 = $3.7275 Put your answer in a sentence: The tip should be $3.73 (is that close to our estimate of $375?)

LT #11 Tips Mrs. Girt earned average tips of 18% while waiting tables at Denny’s. If her sales one night were $730, what did she make in tips? 2 730 x 0.18 Tips = 0.18 730 $131.40 = 1 5 8 4 0 7 0 3 0 3 1 1 4 0 Mrs. Girt earned $131.40 in tips that night.
Tips LT #11 The dinner bill at Olive Garden was $58.57 cents. If your family wanted to leave a 15% tip for the waiter approximately how much should they leave? Tip = 15% of $58.57 Kind of an “ugly” calculation! Tip = .15 58.57 SO: Use Benchmarks and Short cuts to estimate tip: Round $58.57 to $60 then take 15% by using 10% + 5% to get the tip. 10% of $60 = $6 + 5% of $60 = $3 15% of $60 = $9 So the tip should be about $9.
