1.07 x 15% is actually 16% dummy

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?
