    Restaurant tips word problem
    Noodles & Company has no tip policy. This helps streamline operations while keeping the focus of employees on their tasks at hand. In problem 4 above, what would you save on a meal of a large Pad Thai with protein if you typically tip 20%. How much would you save if you brought your family of four with each meal averaging $6.50?

    Large pad thai is $7.25

    I calculated the cost of the Large Pad Thai as 7.25 and multiplied it by 20% and received $1.45. I know 1.45 is the amount of the tip not the savings so how do I figure out the savings.

    also I multiplied 6.50 by 4=26*20% and received 5.20 I know this is the amount of the tip but I do not know what to calculate to get the savings
