stan took lily to his friend's restaurant on a date. the friend told the waiter to remove the $12 dessert from Stan's bill. Stan tipped the waiter

Answer 1

It is customary to tip the waiter based on the total bill amount, including the cost of the dessert. Since the friend removed the $12 dessert from Stan's bill, Stan should still include the cost of the dessert when calculating the tip. The percentage for tipping usually ranges from 15% to 20% of the total bill.

Let's say the total bill without the dessert was $50. Taking into account the dessert, the total bill would have been $50 + $12 = $62. If Stan decides to tip 18% of the total bill, the calculation would be:

$62 * 0.18 = $11.16

So, Stan should tip the waiter $11.16.
