To find the missing tip earnings, we need to calculate the total earnings of Yasmine over the 8 nights and then find the missing amount.
Total earnings over 8 nights = $35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 + X
Total earnings = $46 * 8 = $368
$35.80 + $79.60 + $38.10 + $20.50 + $10.45 + $96.78 + $45.90 = $317.13
X = $368 - $317.13 = $50.87
The value of the missing tip earnings is $50.87.
