In most social situations it is considered acceptable to leave a tip of 10% of the original bill.

So, for example, if you eat at Macdonalds and wish to leave a tip, and the bill is $6.56, then a tip of $0.66 should be left.

the check usually has the price of the food on it.

the tip is 100% your decision to leave.

you can leave anywhere from nothing to what ever you have on you.

First you need to know what the tax rate is, and what rate you want to tip at.

For the sake of example, if the tax rate is 6% and you want to tip at 20%, and you spent $13.50 on food, you would do this:

Tax = 13.5 X .06 = .81

Total with tax = 13.5 + .81 = 14.31

(Most people tip on the full bill, tax included.)

Tip = 14.31 X .2 = 2.86

Total with tax and tip = 14.31 + 2.86 = $17.17
