Three servers work a party of 30 guests with a meal total of $660.00. Restaurant policy adds a 15% gratuity to the bill for parties of 8 or more. If bartenders receive 15% of the gratuity, bussers receive 20%, and the rest goes to the servers, how much does each server get?
660 * 0.15 = $99
99 * 0.15 = 14.85
99 * 0.2 = 19.80
[99 - (14.85 + 19.80)]/3 = ?
21.45
To determine how much each server gets, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the gratuity added to the bill.
Since the party has 30 guests, the restaurant policy adds a 15% gratuity to the bill.
Gratuity = 15% of $660.00
Gratuity = 0.15 * $660.00
Gratuity = $99.00
Step 2: Determine the distribution of the gratuity.
The bartenders receive 15% of the gratuity.
Bartenders' share = 15% of $99.00
Bartenders' share = 0.15 * $99.00
Bartenders' share = $14.85
The bussers receive 20% of the gratuity.
Bussers' share = 20% of $99.00
Bussers' share = 0.20 * $99.00
Bussers' share = $19.80
The remaining amount goes to the servers.
Amount for servers = Gratuity - (Bartenders' share + Bussers' share)
Amount for servers = $99.00 - ($14.85 + $19.80)
Amount for servers = $99.00 - $34.65
Amount for servers = $64.35
Step 3: Divide the amount for servers equally among the three servers.
Each server's share = Amount for servers / Number of servers
Each server's share = $64.35 / 3
Each server's share ≈ $21.45
Therefore, each server would receive approximately $21.45.
