Rachel makes $12.00 as a waitress in a coffee shop. In one hour, she serves 20 different people and they all leave her a $1.25 tip. How much money did she make in that hour?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
She served 20 people and they all tipped her $1.25 so she made 20 * 1.25 = $25.00 in tips. She makes $12.00 an hour and she made $25.00 in tips so she made 12 + 25 = $37.00 in one hour.
Thus, the answer is 37.
