Answer 1

Answer:

The money made by Martin is more than that of money made by Tom .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The hourly wages of Tom = $2.15

The hourly wages of Martin = $2.50

The number of hours worked by each = 8 hours

So, The total wages of Tom = $2.15 × 8 = $17.2

The total wages of Martin = $2.50 × 8 = $20

The percentage tip of Tom = 15 % of total wages

i.e The tip amount of Tom = $\frac{15}{100}$ × $17.2

Or, The tip amount of Tom = $2.58

∴ Total earning of Tom = total wages + total tip

Or, Total earning of Tom = $17.2 + $2.58

i.e Total earning of Tom = $19.78

Again

The percentage tip of Martin = 12% of total wages

i.e The tip amount of Martin = $\frac{12}{100}$ × $20

Or,  The tip amount of Martin = $2.4

∴ Total earning of Martin = total wages + total tip

Or, Total earning of Martin = $20 + $2.4

i.e Total earning of Martin = $22.4

So, The money made by Tom = $19.78 and

The money made by Martin = $22.4

Hence, The money made by Martin is more than that of money made by Tom . Answer
