STARTING TOTAL: $16.76
#1: 10% of $16.76 is $1.67. Note the decimal positioning.
#2: $1.67 divided by 2 = 0.835, or in this case, 84 cents. Add 1.67 and .84 together, and you get $2.51. That's 15%.
#3: Take the 84 cents and dividing it by 5 gives us 16.8, or rather 17 cents.
#4: 17 times 2, of course, is 34.
#5: Then it's just a matter of adding $2.51 and .34 together to get $2.85.
And there you go.
"Aw, it ain't your fault," says Gina, "I know you were try'na help. I'm just, y'know, not that bright." She counts out the right money for about a twenty percent tip and places it on the table with the ticket.
