A restaurant has a policy in which an automatic gratuity of 18% is added to a table's bill when the table has 8 or more people.
A bill for a large table comes to $510 before the gratuity is added. The total cost of the meal is divided evenly among 15 people at the table.
How much does each person pay?
Enter your answer in the box.
First, we need to calculate the amount of the gratuity that will be added to the bill. Since the bill is $510 and there are 15 people at the table, the restaurant's policy does not apply and no gratuity will be automatically added.
Therefore, each person will pay an equal portion of the $510 bill.
$510 divided by 15 people equals $<<510/15=34>>34 per person.
So, each person will pay $34.
