i still do the old take off the zero, cut it in half then add it to the one with the the zero taken off trick when it's not calculated in.
bill is 45.15
divide by 10
4.52
divide by 2
2.26
add together
6.78
voila! 15%

:eh: That is way too much work.
If the gratuity is already added in the bill, why the hell would you pay more?

8.47=10.00=20.00=2.00
that way its usually over 20%. if its like 21.50, i'll round to 25 though.
