3 people are eating at their favorite icecream shop. They plan to split the bill evenly. They decide to leave a 30% tip. The total bill is $50.88 before tax. Tax here is 6%. How much will each person pay? Both tax and tip are calculated in the original total. Round the tip and tax to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating. Round your final answer to the nearest hundreth.
The tax amount is 6% of $50.88, which is (0.06)($50.88) = $3.05
So the total bill with tax is $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93
Next, they leave a 30% tip, which is (0.30)($53.93) = $16.18
So the total bill with tax and tip is $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11
Finally, they will split the bill evenly, so each person will pay $70.11 / 3 = $<<70.11/3=23.37>>23.37. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
To calculate how much each person will pay, we first need to find the total amount including tax.
Given:
Total bill before tax = $50.88
Tax rate = 6%
Step 1: Calculate the tax amount
Tax amount = Total bill before tax * Tax rate
Tax amount = $50.88 * 0.06
Tax amount = $3.05 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Step 2: Calculate the total bill including tax
Total bill including tax = Total bill before tax + Tax amount
Total bill including tax = $50.88 + $3.05
Total bill including tax = $53.93 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Step 3: Calculate the tip amount
Tip rate = 30%
Tip amount = Total bill including tax * Tip rate
Tip amount = $53.93 * 0.30
Tip amount = $16.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Step 4: Calculate the final bill with tax and tip
Final bill with tax and tip = Total bill including tax + Tip amount
Final bill with tax and tip = $53.93 + $16.18
Final bill with tax and tip = $70.11 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Step 5: Calculate how much each person will pay
Each person's contribution = Final bill with tax and tip / Number of people
Each person's contribution = $70.11 / 3
Each person's contribution = $23.37 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, each person will pay $23.37.
To calculate how much each person will pay, we need to calculate the total amount including tax and tip, and then divide it by the number of people.
First, let's calculate the tax amount. The tax rate is 6%, so we can find the tax amount by multiplying the total bill by 0.06:
Tax amount = $50.88 * 0.06 = $3.0528
Since we need to round the tax to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating, the tax amount will be $3.05.
Next, we need to calculate the total bill including tax. To do this, we add the tax amount to the original total:
Total bill with tax = $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93
Now, let's calculate the tip amount. The tip percentage is 30%, so we can find the tip amount by multiplying the total bill with tax by 0.30:
Tip amount = $53.93 * 0.30 = $16.179
Since we need to round the tip to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating, the tip amount will be $16.18.
Now, let's calculate the final bill including both tax and tip:
Final bill = Total bill with tax + Tip amount = $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11
Finally, to find out how much each person will pay, we need to divide the final bill by the number of people. Since there are 3 people, each person will pay:
Each person's share = Final bill / Number of people = $70.11 / 3 = $23.37
Therefore, each person will pay $23.37.
