Respuesta :

Step 1. Calculate 15% of the meals served.

Since he served $725 worth of meals, we calculate 15% of $725. We do this by dividing 725 by 100 and then multiplying by 15:

[tex]\frac{725}{100}\times15=108.75[/tex]

He earned $108.75 on tips.

Step 2. Add the tips to the amount he earns each weekend.

He earns $80 each weekend plus the tips:

[tex]80+108.75=188.75[/tex]

Answer: $188.75
