The formula to calculate the service charge is:
\[ \text{SC} = \frac{\text{TC} \times \text{PT}}{100} \]
Where:
A service charge is an extra charge added to the bill of a catering service to account for the serving and delivery of the food on top of the cost of the food itself. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the total cost of the food.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{SC} = \frac{200 \times 15}{100} = 30 \]
The Service Charge is $30.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{SC} = \frac{500 \times 18}{100} = 90 \]
The Service Charge is $90.
