In a US restaurant with table service, what tip is usual for good service?

✓ About 15-20% of the bill
B No tip, because service is included
✕ About 5% of the bill Your answer
D About 40% of the bill

Not quite.

Servers in the US earn a low base wage and rely on tips, so 15-20% is the common rule of thumb, and many payment screens now suggest 20% or more. Tipping is expected, not just a bonus.
