Question

Part 1 Jerome works as a waiter. He earns 80$ each weekend plus 15% in tips on meals servedJerome served 725$ worth of meals last weekend. How much did jerome earn last week.

Answer 1

Step 1. Calculate 15% of the meals served.

Since he served $725 worth of meals, we calculate 15% of $725. We do this by dividing 725 by 100 and then multiplying by 15:

$\frac{725}{100}\times15=108.75$

He earned $108.75 on tips.

Step 2. Add the tips to the amount he earns each weekend.

He earns $80 each weekend plus the tips:

$80+108.75=188.75$

Answer: $188.75
