Ken, Mike, and Ariel are eating out at their favorite restaurant. They each order a sandwich combo and plan to split the bill evenly. The service they receive at the restaurant is amazing, so they decide to leave a 30% tip. Their bill total is $50.88 before tax. If Florida’s sales tax is 6%, how much will each person pay? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (points)
First, calculate the tip amount by multiplying the bill total by the tip percentage: $50.88 * 30% = $<<50.88*30*.01=15.26>>15.26
Then calculate the total bill amount including the tip: $50.88 + $15.26 = $<<50.88+15.26=66.14>>66.14
Then calculate the amount each person needs to pay before tax by dividing the total bill amount by the number of people: $66.14 / 3 people = $<<66.14/3=22.05>>22.05 per person
Then calculate the amount of the tax by multiplying the total bill amount by the tax rate: $66.14 * 6% = $<<66.14*6*.01=3.97>>3.97
Then add the tax to the total bill amount to find the final bill amount: $66.14 + $3.97 = $<<66.14+3.97=70.11>>70.11
Finally, divide the final bill amount by the number of people to find the amount each person needs to pay, rounded to the nearest hundredth: $70.11 / 3 people = $<<70.11/3=23.37>>23.37 per person. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
To find out how much each person will pay, we need to calculate the total bill, including the tip and sales tax, and then divide it by the number of people.
Let's break down the problem step-by-step:
Step 1: Calculate the total bill amount before tax.
The bill total before tax is $50.88.
Step 2: Calculate the sales tax.
Florida's sales tax is 6%.
Sales tax = 6% of $50.88 = $3.05.
Step 3: Calculate the total bill amount including tax.
Total bill amount = Bill total before tax + Sales tax
Total bill amount = $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93.
Step 4: Calculate the tip amount.
They decided to leave a 30% tip.
Tip amount = 30% of $53.93 = $16.18.
Step 5: Calculate the final bill amount.
Final bill amount = Total bill amount + Tip amount
Final bill amount = $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11.
Step 6: Calculate the amount each person will pay.
Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel plan to split the bill evenly, we divide the final bill amount by 3.
Amount each person will pay = Final bill amount / 3
Amount each person will pay = $70.11 / 3 ≈ $23.37.
Therefore, each person will pay approximately $23.37.
To calculate how much each person will pay, we need to consider the bill total, the sales tax, and the tip amount.
First, let's calculate the sales tax on the bill. The total bill before tax is $50.88, and Florida's sales tax is 6%. To find the tax amount, we can multiply the bill total by the sales tax rate:
Tax amount = $50.88 * 0.06
Tax amount = $3.05
Now, let's add the tax amount to the bill total to get the total amount including tax:
Total bill with tax = $50.88 + $3.05
Total bill with tax = $53.93
Next, let's calculate the tip by multiplying the total bill with tax by the tip percentage:
Tip amount = $53.93 * 0.30
Tip amount = $16.18
Now, let's calculate the final bill by adding the total bill with tax and the tip amount:
Final bill = $53.93 + $16.18
Final bill = $70.11
Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel are splitting the bill evenly, we need to divide the final bill by 3 to find out how much each person will pay:
Each person's payment = $70.11 / 3
Each person's payment = $23.37
Therefore, each person will pay approximately $23.37.
