jill works as a waitress at the local diner where she earns an hourly wage of $ 4.00 per hour and a standard tip rate of 15 % of the cost of the orders she serves . if she worked 3 8 - hour shifts this week and averaged $ 40 in orders per hour , how much did jill earn this week ?
jill earns 4 dollars / hour and the hourly tip is ( 3 / 20 ) * 40 . jill thus earns 4 * 8 + 8 * 2 * 3 per day ( or 4 ( 8 ) + 6 ( 8 ) = 10 ( 8 ) = 80 ) . jill has worked for 3 days - > 80 * 3 = 240 . this matches answer choice c .
