Chris and five of his friends go out to dinner. The total bill comes to $124.29. They decide to leave a 20% tip. Each person will contribute an equal amount to the total tip. Estimate what each person should contribute.
a$29.00
b$21.00
c$5.00
$4.15**
I agree
tip = .2*124.29 /6 = 4.14 so agree.
1.20 * 124.29 / 6 = 24.86 each for meal + tip
To estimate what each person should contribute, we first need to calculate the total tip amount.
To do this, we multiply the total bill ($124.29) by the tip percentage (20%).
Total tip = $124.29 * 20% = $24.86
Since each person will contribute an equal amount to the total tip, we divide the total tip amount by the number of people (Chris + 5 friends = 6 people) to find the individual contribution.
Individual contribution = $24.86 / 6 = $4.14
However, it's important to note that the individual contribution should be rounded up to the nearest cent. Therefore, each person should contribute approximately $4.15.
So the correct answer is $4.15.
