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? Both tip and tax are calculated based on the original total of the bill. Round the tip and the tax to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating. Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

The total bill before tax and tip is $50.88.
The tax is calculated as 6% of $50.88, which is 0.06 * 50.88 = $3.05.
So now the bill with tax is $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93.
The tip is calculated as 30% of $53.93, which is 0.3 * 53.93 = $16.18.
Now the bill with tax and tip is $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11.
Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel want to split the bill evenly, each person will pay $70.11 / 3 = $23.37.
So each person will pay $23.37.
