    1. James works as a waiter.

    He served food with the following price

    => 23.59 dollars

    => 40.65 dollars

    => 30.50 dollars

    => 15.68 dollars

    Let’s add this altogether:

    => 23.59 + 40.65 + 30.50 + 15.68

    => 110.42 the total of the ordered food.

    Now, James received a tip of 17.67 dollars. Find the interest rate of his tip.

    => 110.42 *.50 = 55.21, thus the interest rate of tip is less than 50%

    => You can do trial and error to get the correct rate,

    => 110.42 *.16 = 17.67, thus he received 16% tip
