\n" ); document.write( " You go out to dinner in a party of eight, and the restaurant automatically adds a 18% gratuity to the check. The total amount of the check, with the added gratuity, is $ 219.83. How much was the gratuity?
\n" ); document.write( " A. $39.57
\n" ); document.write( " B. $33.53
\n" ); document.write( " C. $55.88
\n" ); document.write( " D. $48.79
\n" ); document.write( " E. $42.15
\n" ); document.write( "

With G as the amount of the gratuity, set up the following PROPORTION: 
\n" );
document.write( "                                                                       G =  ------ Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "                                                                       Solve for G, the gratuity! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
