What is 15% gratuity on a bill of $200?

$40.00
$33.75
$30.00
$15.00

The correct answer is: $30.00

To calculate a 15% gratuity on a $200 bill, you first convert the percentage into a decimal. This is done by dividing 15 by 100, which equals 0.15. Next, you multiply this decimal by the total bill amount: 0.15 × $200 = $30. Thus, the gratuity for a $200 bill at a rate of 15% would indeed be $30. This method of using decimals for percentage calculations is commonly used in various contexts, particularly in hospitality and culinary settings where tipping is customary. In this case, the other amounts do not reflect the proper calculation based on the defined percentage; they either significantly exceed or fall short of the correct gratuity.
