Question
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.(1 point)
The sales tax is calculated by multiplying the bill total by the tax rate, so 50.88 * 0.06 = $3.05
The tip is calculated by multiplying the bill total by the tip rate, so 50.88 * 0.30 = $15.26
Adding the tax and the tip to the bill total gives: 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = $69.19
Since they plan to split the bill evenly, each person will pay: 69.19 / 3 = $23.06.
Therefore, each person will pay $23.06.
