Problema Solution
Three servers work a party of 30 guests with a meal total of $660.00. Restaurant policy adds a 15% gratuity to the bill for parties of 8 or more. If bartenders receive 15% of the gratuity, bussers receive 20%, and the rest goes to the servers, how much does each server get?
Answer provided by our tutors
First we calculate the 15% gratuity:
660 * 0.15 = $99
15% of the $99 gratuity is: 99 * 0.15 = $14.85 for the bartenders
20% of the $99 gratuity is: 99 * 0.2 = $19.8 for the bussers
What is left goes to the servers. Each of the 3 servers will get:
[99 - (14.85 + 19.80)]/3 = $21.45
