Given that total bill amount = $86.20
Tax = 6.5%
So total amount Harringtons should pay = 86.20 + 6.5% of 86.20
= 86.20 + 0.065*86.20
= 86.20 + 5.603
= 91.803
Given that they paid a total of $100 including the tip so tip can be found by subtracting total bill amount from paid amount
tip = 100 - 91.803
tip = 8.197
If we compare the bill amount $86.20 with the tip amount $8.197. We see that tip is not very big as compared to bill.
So according to me, the tip value doesn't truely reflect that Harringtons were exceptionally pleased with their service.
Answer:
No, the Harringtons tip does not reflect how they felt about their service. The tax on their bill is (0.065)(86.20) = $5.60, which means that their total before tip is 86.20 + 5.60 = $91.80. Subtracting this from the $100, leaves $8.20 for the tip, which is less than 10%. Based on the average range of tipping being 10% - 20% with 20% at the high end, their tip seems to reflect that they were not happy with their service.
