Answer
To calculate the total cost of John's meal, we need to add the price of the steak and cheesecake:
Price of Steak: €18.95
Price of Cheesecake: €4.95
Total Cost = €18.95 + €4.95 = €23.90

Answer
Michelle has 4 choices for the main course and 3 choices for desserts. To find the total number of combinations, multiply:
Total Combinations = Number of Main Courses × Number of Desserts
Total Combinations = 4 × 3 = 12
Step 4
Gina orders food costing €72. Gina gives a tip of 15% of this cost, rounded to the nearest euro. Work out how much Gina gives as a tip.

Answer
To find the tip amount, calculate 15% of €72.
Tip = 0.15 × €72 = €10.80.
Rounding to the nearest euro, Gina gives a tip of €11.
Step 5
There are 5 waiters and 3 kitchen staff working in the restaurant. One night, the 3 kitchen staff get a combined total of €96 in tips. Work out the total value of all the tips that evening.

Answer
The total number of staff members is 5 waiters + 3 kitchen staff = 8 staff members.
The tip amount shared among all staff is:
Total Tips = 3 kitchen staff tips × (Total Tips for evening) / 3 = €96.
Thus, Total Tips = €96 × 8/3 = €256.
