Eighth-Graders, ask your parents how they determine the tip for a meal. Discuss the different ways that we practiced estimating tip. Impress your family or friends with your knowledge next time you are out to eat!Post a comment that correctly explains just ONE way to figure out the tip for a meal for HW extra credit!

One way to determine the gratuity, or
tip, of a meal is to double the sales tax.
Since the tip percent is about 15 % and the sales tax is about 8 %, doubling the sales tax can be a good way to find the tip.

Yes! Many people use this method to find tip.
You can move the decimal point over 1 place to find 10%. If you want to find 15%, you can just add half of that amount to the amount.
You can also use a tip calculator on a cellular phone. That is my favorite because it's the easiest and you can split it between people.
Yes, Jason, the two methods that you picked would work. Thanks for the response:)

Mrs. Morey,
What a great idea! Teaching our students how to tip in math class is awesome!
...do you know what the difference between a lawyer and a canoe is?
...the canoe tips! HA!
