There is also a quick and easy tip for calculating round number tips. If you give a 10% tip simply drop a zero from the number on the bill and that is the amount for a 10% tip.
$100 check, drop a zero and the tip is $10.
For a 20% or 30% tip you would then simply multiply the 10% tip number from the prior step by 2 or 3.
