[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 944306, member: 12570"] We are talking about basic math here. Using your example: $17.99 for dinner plus 9.5% sales tax plus 15-20% tip. First you figure out the base total, which would be the dinner and tax. Round the $17.99 to $18 and the 9.5% to 10%. 10% of $18 is $1.80. $18 + $1.80 = $19.80 which you would then round to $20. Your tip would be $3 at 15% and $4 at 20% making your total with tip $23-24. [/QUOTE]
