Step-by-step explanation:

Chrissie likes to tip a server in a restaurant a minimum of 25% of her lunch bill. She and her friend have a lunch bill that is $13.78. This means that the amount of tip that she would give to the server would be

25/100 * 13.78 = 0.25 * 13.78 = $3.445

If Chrissie says the tip will be $3.00, he is incorrect because the tip is $3.445 which is higher than $3

If her friend says that the amount is not a minimum of 25% he is correct because a minimum if 25% is $3.445 which is higher than $3
