Passage / Scenario
A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $38.40. They wish to leave a 15% gratuity. What is the estimated gratuity amount?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
To calculate the 15% gratuity on a $38.40 bill, you multiply the bill amount by 0.15 (15%): $38.40 x 0.15 = $5.76. Since gratuity amounts are typically rounded up, the estimated gratuity would be $6.00, making choice A the correct answer. In this case, rounding up to the nearest whole dollar is common practice in gratuity calculations to simplify tipping and ensure a fair amount for the service provided.
