Amanda earns an average of $22 an hour in tips as a waitress at the best steak restaurant in town.
If her hourly wage is $2.50 and she has to pay a 10% tip share to the hostesses and busboys, how much does she take home at the end of a day when she worked from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.?
A. $32.90
B. $121.11
C. $138.60
D. $156.10
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
first, calculate the amount of Amanda’s hourly wages for a shift of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which is seven hours.
7 x $2.50 = $17.50
Next, calculate the amount of Amanda’s tips for her seven-hour shift.
7 x $22 = $154
Now, calculate the amount of her tips she has to share with the busboys and hostesses. $154 x 0.10 = $15.40 Now add everything up.
