Answer:

The tip was actually a little over 15% so we could surely say it is pretty sound and reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Determine:

Explain how Kallie can mentally estimate whether her mom's tip is reasonable for a 15% tip?

Information Fetching and Solution Steps:

As

  • Kallie's mom takes her out for lunch
  • The bill comes to $18.75
  • Her mom comments that the waiter did a good job and deserves a 15% tip
  • Kallie notices that her mom leaves a $4 tip

So,

  • You can find [tex]\:10\%[/tex] by moving the decimal point one place to the left
  • [tex]\:10\%[/tex] of [tex]18.75[/tex] will be [tex]1.875[/tex], then half of that will be [tex]5\%[/tex]

So, [tex]15\%[/tex] should be be about [tex]1.88\:+\:0.94\:=\:2.82[/tex]

Therefore, the tip was actually a little over 15% so we could surely say it is pretty sound and reasonable.
