QUESTION 1 of 10: Generally, parties of 8 or more require many restaurants to include gratuity of 18% on the check before presenting to the
guest. For a party of 15 and a total check in the amount of $276.99, what is the gratuity amount added to the check for this large party?
a) $22.50
b) $33.28
c) $41.14
d) $49.86

D) 49.86

276.99 x .18 (or 18%) = 49.8582

The first one, i believe, would be correct. all the others have one thing in common, and that's that they have repeating numbers. in the second one, x and y have repeating 6's and 3's, and in the third, x and y have repeating 6's as well. in the last one, there are repeating 3's. the first one has no repeating numbers.
