Tip Calc v2.1 ================================================== copyright 1999 Brian Sulcer About Tip Calc -------------- Tip Calc adds a new panel (Restaurant Bill) to the built-in Formulas application. This formulas panel will assist you in calculating the tip and splitting the bill at a restaurant. If you have PocketMoney installed (highly recommended), you can also have the total (or your share of the bill if split) posted directly from Tip Calc. NOTE: If you installed the initial version of this package (named "Restaurant Bill"), you must scrub it from the Extras Drawer before installing any later version. Using Tip Calc -------------- Once installed, a new entry called "Restaurant Bill" will appear in the Formulas roll. This panel allows you to enter the total bill, tip percentage and the number of ways to split the bill. It will then calculate the amount of the tip, the total with tip, and the total per person. If you enable the option to calculate the tip based on the total before tax, you can also enter the tax amount. Common tip percentages and numbers of ways to split are presented in pickers. There are also options to round to two places and to remember the last entered tip percentage between uses. All options are available through the Prefs item in the info button picker.
