I went to a lovely steak house and like my server. As a result, I plan to tip 20% of my bill If my bill was $50 dollars this is how I would calculate the tip without a calculator: ▪ Move the decimal point over 1 ($50~$5) ▪ This is 10% -Multiple by 2 to get 20% or $10 for the tip ▪ If I wanted to tip 15% half the 10% ($2.50) and add to the 10% cost Any questions?
