Two to five dollars: Reasonable tip.

Good thing you don't have to balance your checkbook or estimate how much money you will need for gas, or to figure out how much money you will make in a year...

Stephan,

To figure 15%, just find 10% and then half of the 10% to it. For example, if the check is $12.00, then 10% is $1.20 and half of that (5%) is $ .60, so a 15% tip would be $1.80. Hope that helps!

It really irritates me the way the schooling system doesn't teach much arithmetic. I think there needs to be more focus on just doing arithmetic - none of this crap about doing it in the context of other topics (which I think is a bigger problem in science), not just because it's very important to everyday life, but it's also very important as a foundation for studying mathematics.

This was where my school let me down. I thought arithmetic mas a myth invented to scare children. Then some years later I found out it was real and superior to mathematics in every day life. The education system needs sorting out!

I have totally been trying to make sure my children know there change because I have noticed that the school system has stopped teaching that for the most part... they are now just integrating in into the mathmatics. And pretty much just doing it for as little time as possible. Its sad

Lemonette, I admit I cannot do the 15% in my head! I can do the 20%, I've yet to receive service deserving of that high of a tip though! My mother always fascinated me how she would make change: I could never do it correctly.  I should be practicing! Thanks again for the entertainment!

Love to you,

Lemonette, I know exactly what you mean about being able to make change! I don't think that 99.9% of the people operating cash registers know anymore. They all wait for their cash register (computer) to tell them! The owner of a small family owned dairy store near me (in CT) requires his employees (mostly high school kids) to count back change to the customers! I think it's great, and have told him so. It's the only place I can think of locally where they do it. BTW, LOVE your videos!

Wait. ENGLISH is the subject you should be talking about. Remember, you got your nails "did".  tsk, tsk, tsk.
