But he could see that 5% tax or $0.73, was added to it. What would be a 15% tip on the meal,if it were b4 tax?

The answer is that if Mr. Svoboda was spending this much time trying to figure out pretax on such a small tab he should have eaten at home as he could eat at home cheaper.

you just multiply your price for .07 and you get the sales tax then you add this amount to the price of whatever that you buying. For example      $55.00\n                       X.07\n                   _______\n                      $3.85\nThen    $55.00 + $3.85 = $58.85

$5 fare = $2 tip, $10 fare = $3, $15 fare = $4... if he is nice or just normal. Another $1-2 if he helps you with the door or luggage. If you are visiting a place that you don't know much about and you get some recommendations/advice that seem helpful then add another $1-2. If you get a good cabbie then get his cell phone no. and tip him well he will be at your own little private limo.

It depends.  If there's an upcharge for having the pizza delivered he's all ready got his tip, but if they got to my place extremely fast I'd probably toss in an extra 2-3 bucks.  If there is no upcharge for delivery then it depends on how hot the pizza is when I get it the tip they get.  \n\nCold = 1 dollar\nLuke Warm = 2 dollars\nHot = 3-4 dollars.\nPiping Hot = 5 dollars\n15 minutes or below = 7 dollars or more!!!

the trick to this question was in the wording and how the math was worked out in error\nthe  $3 they got back is what needs to be added to $72... NOT the $2 the waiter kept \nsince they got that back that is what you add... since the waiter kept $2, it is already included in what they paid

Probably what will happen is that they would just recalculate the tax due, and send him a bill for the difference, plus a possible penalty.

All I know is that Value Added Tax is 17.5% of whatever amount and GST I am not sure what it, I would have helped. Find out from the Authorities responsible for the same.

It's a percentage.  So no matter what the price is, you add 8.25 %\n\nThe easiest way to find the new TOTAL  (base price AND tax together)  is to take the price and multiply it by 1.0825\n\nTherefore, a one dollar item is $1.08, a four dollar item is $4.33 a ten dollar item is $10.83, and a hundred dollar item is $108.25.

Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

In most states it is between $2.00 and $3.00, usually closer to $2.00. You get tips and if there are busboys you must give them a percentage. If there are no busboys you bus your own tables but get to keep more. Some restaurants the servers put all the tips together and split them. Do not work in a place like that if you are a good server as some are not and it will affect your take home money. If someone not tipped helps you tip them accordingly at the end of your shift but if the manager helps you then you should not tip him, it is wrong of them to take your money and they are not good managers if they expect or accept it. If you are quick and friendly you can make a lot of money at a good restaurant but it is hard work. If you are the customer instead of the server tip about 20% for good service and a little more for excellent service. If the service gets by but not very good then give a 10 to 15%. If it is really bad leave no tip and ask to speak to the manager. Sometimes the price of your dinner will be reduced for the poor service. ◘

Impossible.  It is a percentage of whatever the product is.  For example the tax here is 5.5%.  If I buy something for 19.99, with tax it is 21.09.

In many sates, taxes are 7.5%. If you are trying to find 7.5% you need to multiply .075 by $51.35.  The answer would be $3.85 (rounded off).\n.0075 is the same as .75%.  Then your answer would only be .39 (rounded off)

If there was no increase, then there is a 0% increase. I do not know what motts is trying to say ...\nsince 24,900% times 6 is 1494 and if the additional 6 cents is included, trust me, you are going to pay it...\n\nyour increase went from 6 cents to 1500 cents...not 6 cents to 1494 cents...\n\nNote: 3 cents is 50% of 6 cents and \n      6 cents is 100% of 6 cents and\n      9 cents is 150% of 6 cents and\n      12 cents is 200% of 6 cents and ... So, if there was a 100% increase in your munincipal telephone tax, your charges would have gone to 12 cents per month. \n\nNow,\n\nSince $15 = 1500 cents, your tax was raised from 6 cents per month to 1500 cents per month. The question is :\n\n1500 is what percent of 6...\n\n1500 = x% (6)\n\n1500 = x/100 (6)\n\n1500 = 6 x / 100\n\nso, (cross multiplication) (1500/1) = (6x/100)\n\n6x = 150000\n\nx = 25000. \n\nSo (YES!), \n\nyour munincipal telephone tax was raised 25,000%.\n\nThere should be some kind of law or rule that allows the increase only a certain amount. Nothing close to 25000 percent. If it was raised this much, you have a bunch of crooks working on your local munincipal board, or whatever...\n\nWith this much more money going in, guess where it is going...\n\nI don't need the ten points, but I hope you are complaining to the right authority...this is rediculous...\n\nAlso, although your tax increased 25000%, you had an increase of 250 times what you were paying. In other words, for every dollar you were paying before, you are now paying $250 or for every cent ($.01) you were paying before, you are now paying 250 cents which is also $2.50.\n\nif the increase is 25000% or 24900%, forget about it, both are a huge increases...\n\nWhen was the increase...from 1940 until last month or from last month to this month...

How much you should tip at a restaurant depends on these factors: the size of your party, the class of the restaurant, and the quality of the service. In this case we'll call a large party anything over 6 people, and an expensive restaurant a "four-star" restaurant. But first let's consider more humble establishments.\n\nProviding the service was good, a tip of 15% of the bill before tax is a good rule of thumb. If you happen to live where the state tax is between 7% and 8% you can calculate the tip easily by looking at the amount you are taxed and simply doubling it. You can then round this amount off higher or lower, depending on the service and your state's tax percentage.

On a personal level I do not tip if a service charge is added to the bill. The amoult you tip is up to you, if you think the level of service was good and you think that the server warrents a tip then do so. If the service was bad then there no reason why you should tip.

what they charge and give a tip if they are good

No servers should have been tipped right in the first place by the customers or the restaraunt should calculate it in the check. As an ex server I felt more like a begger than an employee at a restaraunt cause customers know they don't have to tip.  2.13 an hour is stupid.
