Answer 1

$20 per table.

Explanation:

A waiter made $120 in tips after waiting on 6 tables.

To calculate the average tip we will divide the total amount of tip by the number of tables.

The waiter's average tip per table =
`(120)/(6)`

= $20.00 per table

The waiter's average tip per table is $20.00.

Answer 2

To find the average tip, you would divide the total amount of tips by the number of tables.

$120 / 6 =$20 per table.
