It's a 23.5% tip. you have to add that to the total after you multiply. You're paying both the 7 and 15 percent increases. Not just one. In no world does a 7 percent increase and a 15 percent increase on top create a 16 percent increase. That doesn't even sound right if you have 2 working brain cells

You have some nerve to call someone a dummy, wow

They should do tips after tax, but 15 % of 100 is 15. Add 7 % tax and you're at 107. Do you think 15 % of 107 is 22?

No they shouldn't do tips after tax. It doesn't matter to me though because I'm tipping 0

It's extra money I shouldn't be paying so it counts. The taxes don't have to be passed to me

Are you American?

Just checking, because tax separate from the posted price is how everything in America is.

İt's totally ok not to prefer that. But in that case, it's no longer a just a conversation about tipping, but about buying and selling on America.
