Have to do some math here....Put the man in the fun side of moody, and he will put out. As was discussed with a high ranking perb member, we both had gracefully tipped this one provider, lots. She is a hidden gem, low hourly rate, but can be a hoot.... hence, I gave her a single brown once for hourly rate and tip. This equaled 150% tip.... laughing out loud, I left smiling all the way to the bank machine to load up, for the next interlude.....
Let X = tip ; Let y = hourly rate
Therefore:
X + Y = $100.00 -----------------------------and 1.5Y = X ( -X + 1.5Y = 0); an 150% tip would be 1.5 times hourly rate as stated above.
-X + 1.5Y = 0
--------------------------------
2.5Y = $100.00 (Adding the 2 equations)
Y = $40.00
and X = $60.00
The hourly rate and tip = $100.00
Now people will want to know the provider who only charges 40.00 an hour.....
