The automatic gratuity of 18% is added when the table has 8 or more people, so in this case, the gratuity is added to the bill.
The total cost of the meal is $510, and the gratuity is calculated as 18% of the bill.
Gratuity = 18/100 * $510
Gratuity = $91.80
The total cost of the meal including the gratuity is $510 + $91.80 = $601.80.
The bill is divided evenly among 15 people, so each person pays $601.80 / 15 = $<<601.80/15=40.12>>40.12. (rounded to two decimal places)
A restaurant has a policy in which an automatic gratuity of 18% is added to a table's bill when the table has 8 or more people.
A bill for a large table comes to $510 before the gratuity is added. The total cost of the meal is divided evenly among 15 people at the table.
