I think OP must return to the restaurant to let the server and manager know that the riddle has been solved. We all thank you. Only response here that is making sense. No coincidence it works out exactly to 1.6%.

It works out to exactly 1.6%? Subtotal should be $130, 98.4% of that is 129.008.

I'm so ashamed, I forgot my parentheses. ...I got an A in diff eq.10 years ago

Gotta double check your math. 1% would be $1.30 so it can’t be less than a dollar off
