thy get 55/75 and you want to know x/300

55/75 x X/300

 cross multiply 55 x 300 = 16500

 divide that by 75

16500/75 = 220

 x = 220

 they will get $220

75 in tips......waitress takes 55, hostess takes 20.....ratio of 55/20 reduces to 11/4 or 11:4

11:4...added = 15

waitress : 11/15(300) = 220 <==
hostess : 4/15(300) = 80
