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 total bill amount after tax can be calculated by adding the sales tax to the bill total before tax:
Total bill amount = $50.88 + (6% * $50.88)
Total bill amount = $50.88 + $3.05
Total bill amount = $53.93
Now, let's calculate the tip amount based on the original bill total:
Tip amount = 30% * $50.88
Tip amount = $15.26
Finally, let's calculate how much each person will pay by dividing the total bill amount by 3:
Each person's payment = $53.93 / 3
Each person's payment = $17.98
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, each person will pay $17.98.
wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let me recalculate:
The total bill amount after tax can be calculated by adding the sales tax to the bill total before tax:
Total bill amount = $50.88 + (6% * $50.88)
Total bill amount = $50.88 + $3.05
Total bill amount = $53.93
Now, let's calculate the tip amount based on the original bill total:
Tip amount = 30% * $53.93
Tip amount = $16.18
The total amount to be paid, including the bill, tip, and tax, is:
Total amount to be paid = $53.93 + $16.18
Total amount to be paid = $70.11
Now, let's calculate how much each person will pay by dividing the total amount by 3:
Each person's payment = $70.11 / 3
Each person's payment = $23.37
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, each person will pay $23.37.
wrong again
Apologies for the mistakes in my previous responses. Let's recalculate correctly.
The total bill amount after tax can be calculated by adding the sales tax to the bill total before tax:
Tax amount = 6% * $50.88
Tax amount = $3.05
Total bill amount after tax = $50.88 + $3.05
Total bill amount after tax = $53.93
Now, let's calculate the tip amount based on the original bill total:
Tip amount = 30% * $50.88
Tip amount = $15.26
The total amount to be paid, including the bill, tip, and tax, is:
Total amount to be paid = $53.93 + $15.26
Total amount to be paid = $69.19
Now, let's calculate how much each person will pay by dividing the total amount by 3:
Each person's payment = $69.19 / 3
Each person's payment = $23.06
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, each person will pay $23.06.
