Answer:
$1.18p.
Step-by-step explanation:
A party of 8 had a bill of p.
A restaurant charges an automatic gratuity of 18% on tables with more than 6 people.
Since there are 8 people so, gratuity will be applied on the bill
Since bill is of amount p
So, gratuity of 18 % of p = [tex]18\% \times p[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{18}{100}\times p[/tex]
= [tex]0.18p[/tex]
Now the total bill after adding gratuity : [tex]p+0.18p[/tex]
: [tex]1.18p[/tex]
Hence the total cost of the meal with the gratuity is $1.18p.
