Question: If Billy and Jenny each order a $20 steak along with a $5 drink, how much will Billy have to pay in tips if he wants to cover 80% of a 20% tip for the two of them?
Answer:
First, we figure out the price per meal by adding the steak and the drink together, finding a cost of 20 + 5 = 25 per meal. Then we multiply this by 2, as there are two people eating, meaning a total cost of 25 * 2 = 50 for both meals. Then we find the total tip amount for a 20% tip, by multiplying 50 * .2 = 10. Then we find out what 80% of this tip amount is by multiplying the desired tip of 10 by .8, finding 10 * .8 = 8 dollars that Billy should contribute. The answer is 8.
