Jimmy mows yards for a lawn service company. He gets 50% of what each of his customers is charged. If the customer leaves a tip, Jimmy gets 100% of the tip. How much does Jimmy earn on a \(\$32\) mow if the client tips him \(\$4\)?
Explanation
Jimmy’s earnings = 50% of mowing service charged + 100% of tip
= \((0.50)(\$32) + (1)\$4 = 16 + 4 = \$20\)
