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.

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.

Answer 1

First, let's calculate how much the tip will be. We'll multiply the total bill amount by the tip percentage: $50.88 * 0.30 = $15.26 (rounds to $15.26)

Next, let's calculate how much the tax will be. We'll multiply the total bill amount by the tax percentage: $50.88 * 0.06 = $3.05 (rounds to $3.05)

Now let's determine the new total bill amount by adding the original bill amount, tip amount, and tax amount: $50.88 + $15.26 + $3.05 = $69.19 (rounds to $69.19)

Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel are splitting the bill evenly, each person will pay the new total bill amount divided by 3: $69.19 / 3 = $23.06 (rounds to $23.06)

Each person will pay $23.06.
