Ten percent of $105.00 is $10.50: just move the decimal point one place to the left. From there, 20% is double ($21.00), 15% is 10% plus half of 10% ($10.50 + $5.25 = $15.75), and 5% is half of 10% ($5.25).

Before or after tax?
Etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. In practice, many people tip on the total, and the difference is small: at 8% sales tax, a 20% tip on the post-tax amount of a $105.00 pre-tax bill is $22.68 instead of $21.00, about $1.68 more. Check whether a service charge or gratuity has already been added, which is common for parties of six or more; in that case no extra tip is expected.
