Whenever Martin has a restaurant bill with an amount between $10 and $99, he calculates the dollar amount of the tip as 2 times the tens digit of the amount of his bill. If the amount of Martin' most recent restaurant bill was between $10 and $99, was the tip calculated by Martin on this bill greater than 15 percent of the
amount of the bill?

(1) The amount of the bill was between $15 and $30
(2) The tip calculated by Martin was $8

Its an easy problem..but the issue i have with it is that there is conflicting info in the two statements.
For the tip to be 8$ in (2)..the amt has to be in between 40 and 49

But acc to statement (1) the amt is between 15 and 30 which doesnt overlap with the above statement.

Is this a flawed question????
