LEAVING A TIP In Exercises \(83-85\), use the following information. You and a friend decide to leave a \(15 \%\) tip for restaurant service. You compute the tip, \(T,\) as \(T=0.15 C,\) where \(C\) represents the cost of the meal. Your friend claims that an easier way to mentally compute the tip is to calculate \(10 \%\) of the cost of the meal plus one half of \(10 \%\) of the cost of the meal.
