well first find the commission, it is 6.25 percent of 188500.

butterflyhope · Answer

11781.25?

camper4834 · Answer

The waiter at the Italian restaurant earned $186 in tips. If this was 15% of the total food bills for his tables, how much was the total of the food bills?

camper4834 · Answer

mm so this question is like "backwards"
instead of multiplying 186 by %15 we are going to divide

camper4834 · Answer

(food bill) * %15 = 186

camper4834 · Answer

so (food bill) = 186 / %15

camper4834 · Answer

what is 186 divided by 0.15

butterflyhope · Answer

1,240

camper4834 · Answer

yup! do you understand how i am making these up

butterflyhope · Answer

Yeah, thank you :)

butterflyhope · Answer

36.36 repeating?

camper4834 · Answer

yes but i must warn you that i purposely lead you down a wrong path

camper4834 · Answer

36.36 miles per inches is great for 400 but not 300

butterflyhope · Answer

..............I trusted you..... xD

camper4834 · Answer

if the answer was 36.36 then the 300 miles wouldn't fit

camper4834 · Answer

so instead we try 300/4
