Question

Kelsey works at a local restaurant as a waitress. During one night she had total receipts of $360. If her customers averaged a tip rate of 18%, how much did Kelsey make in tips that night?
A. 53 m

B. 5.3 m

C. 153 m

D. 101 m

Answer 1

To calculate Kelsey's tips, we first need to find 18% of her total receipts, which is $360.

We can calculate the tips as follows:

\[
\text{Tips} = \text{Total Receipts} \times \text{Tip Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Tips} = 360 \times 0.18
\]
\[
\text{Tips} = 64.8
\]

Since the options provided seem to depict the dollar amounts in an unusual format (possibly including a misplaced "m" for million), none of the options accurately represent the calculated tips of $64.80.

The correct amount Kelsey made in tips is **$64.80**, but it does not match any of the options provided (A. 53 m, B. 5.3 m, C. 153 m, D. 101 m).
