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?
21.45
.15(660)(1-.15-.20)/3 = 21.45
That's what I get, too.
To find out how much each server gets, we need to calculate the total gratuity and distribute it among the bartenders, bussers, and servers.
First, we need to calculate the gratuity amount. Since the restaurant policy adds a 15% gratuity to the bill for parties of 8 or more, we can calculate it as follows:
Gratuity = 15% of the total meal cost
= 15/100 * $660.00
= $99.00
Now, let's calculate the amount given to the bartenders:
Bartender's share = 15% of the gratuity
= 15/100 * $99.00
= $14.85
Next, we'll calculate the amount given to the bussers:
Busser's share = 20% of the gratuity
= 20/100 * $99.00
= $19.80
Now, we can distribute the remaining gratuity among the three servers.
Remaining gratuity = Gratuity - (Bartender's share + Busser's share)
= $99.00 - ($14.85 + $19.80)
= $64.35
Since there are three servers, each server will receive an equal share:
Amount received by each server = Remaining gratuity / Number of servers
= $64.35 / 3
= $21.45
Therefore, each server will receive $21.45.
