I guess I don’t understand you because I don’t understand how your point is relevant. I didn’t forget tax because tax isn’t relevant to the original image. It only brings up a 25% tip on a total of $70, and “tipping up” to a total sum is never discussed.
On the other hand, my proposed solution involves “tipping up” to a sum, which means tax must be considered if you’re going to take the time to calculate the exact tip percentage.
And also, “an excuse”? I’m sorry to ask so bluntly, but that word choice makes me wonder: do you view this conversation as a competition?
You are changing from a $70 meal and a $50 meal to a $50 meal rounding up to $70.
There is sales tax on the $70 meal at the same percentage.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying
You forgot that tax would be included at the same rate on a $70 meal as a $50.
You can’t use tax as an excuse on the 50 since the 70 would have it too.
