A tip is a percent of your restaurant bill, a commission is a percent of a salesperson’s total sales, and a fee is a percent of a ticket price or service charge. Once you can spot the base and the rate, the calculation is simple multiplication. This topic connects percent skills directly to the money decisions you will make every day!  \nKey Concepts & Quick Review  \nTip: Tip = Bill × r; Total = Bill × (1 + r) .  \nCommission: Commission = Sales × r; Total earnings = Base salary + Commission.  \nFee: Fee = Service cost × r; Total = Cost × (1 + r) .  \nExamples  \n➀ A restaurant bill is $64 .50. The customer leaves an 18% tip. Find the tip amount and the total paid.  \n¬ Think It Through: Tip: 64.50 × 0. 18 = $11 .61. Total: 64.50 + 11 .61 = $76 .11. Or: 64.50 × 1. 18 =$76 .11.  \n􀀑 Answer: Tip: $11 .61; total: $76 .11  \n➁ A real estate agent earns a 3% commission on home sales. She also has a base salary of $2 ,000 per month. In April she sold homes worth $380 ,000 total. What were her total earnings for April?¬ Think It Through: Commission: 380 ,000 × 0.03 = $11 ,400. Total: 2 ,000 + 11 ,400 = $13 ,400.  \n􀀑 Answer: Total earnings: $13 ,400  \n✎ Practice Problems  \nCalculate the tip, commission, or fee. Then find the total amount paid or earned.  \n1. A restaurant bill is $40 . Find the tip for a   20% tip rate.  \n2. A restaurant bill is $85 . Find the tip for a   15% tip rate.  \n3. A restaurant bill is $120 .

A salesperson makes $1,500 in sales   and earns 6% commission. Find the commission.  \n7. A salesperson makes $4,000 in sales   and earns 8% commission. Find the  \n22% tip rate. commission.  \n[E](EffortlessMath.com)[f](EffortlessMath.com)[f](EffortlessMath.com)[o](EffortlessMath.com)[r](EffortlessMath.com)[t](EffortlessMath.com)[l](EffortlessMath.com)[e](EffortlessMath.com)[s](EffortlessMath.com)[s](EffortlessMath.com)[M](EffortlessMath.com)[a](EffortlessMath.com)[t](EffortlessMath.com)[h](EffortlessMath.com)[.](EffortlessMath.com)[c](EffortlessMath.com)[o](EffortlessMath.com)[m](EffortlessMath.com)  \n1  \nScan Me  \n8. A salesperson makes $75,000 in sales   and earns 3% commission. Find the commission.  \n9. A $300 fee has an added 5% service fee.   Find the service fee.  \n10. A $180 service has an added 12% fee. Find the fee amount.  \n11. A restaurant bill is $95 . Find the tip for a 25% tip rate.  \n12. A rental costs $600 and has a 2% booking fee. Find the booking fee.  \n13. A worker earns $2,500 salary plus 9% commission on $8,000 in sales. Find total earnings.  \n14. A worker earns $1,200 salary plus 5% commission on $15,000 in sales. Find total earnings.  \n15. A restaurant bill is $50 before tax and tip.  \nAdd 9% tax and a 20% tip on the original  bill.  Find the total paid.  \nStudy Tips  \n☞ Mental math trick for tips: Find 10% first (move decimal left one place), then adjust. A 20% tip = 2 × (10% tip) .  \n☞ Commission is calculated on total sales, not on salary. Add the commission to the base salary to find total earnings.  \n☞ When a fee and tax both apply, apply them to the appropriate base—a booking fee applies to the original cost, and tax may apply to the total.  \n✍ Word Problems  \n16. Four friends share a restaurant meal. The bill before tax is $96 . They add 8% sales tax and then leave a 20% tip on the pre-tax amount. What is the total bill? If they split it equally, how much does each person pay?  \nRound to the nearest cent.    \n17. A car salesperson earns a base salary of $2 ,500 per month plus a 4% commission on all car sales. In May she sold 3 cars worth $28 ,000 , $34 ,500, and $19 ,200.","cbCainDPdyDxcETZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainDPdyDxcETZ","pdf",282573,"English","# Key Concepts & Quick Review\n## Tips\n## Commissions\n## Fees\n# Examples\n# Practice Problems\n# Study Tips\n# Word Problems\n# Answer Keys\n# Step-by-Step Explanations","[{\"question\":\"How are tips, commissions, and fees alike?\",\"answer\":\"All three are calculated using a percent of a base amount.
