Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a restaurant receipt from the fictional Penguin Café with various items ordered, including appetizers, main courses, desserts, and drinks, with corresponding prices. The date of the dining experience, table number, server name, and location of the restaurant are all listed on the receipt. The tasks include calculating the total cost of the meal with tax, determining the tip based on a percentage, identifying the most expensive item, estimating the number of people in the dining party, and identifying the state where the restaurant is located.

It requires students to apply addition to find total costs, percentage calculations for tipping, comparison to identify the most expensive item, and division to infer the number of diners. Furthermore, it includes a geographical aspect by asking students to determine the location of the restaurant, promoting an interdisciplinary approach to learning.
