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. (1 point)
First, we need to find the total bill amount after tax and before the tip. The sales tax is 6%, so the total bill amount after tax is 1 + 6/100 = 1.06 times the before-tax amount.
So the total bill amount after tax is $50.88 * 1.06 = $<<50.88*1.06=53.92>>53.92.
Then we add the 30% tip, which is 30/100 * $53.92 = $<<30/100*53.92=16.18>>16.18.
Therefore, the total amount to be paid by each person is ($53.92 + $16.18) / 3 = $<<53.92+16.18)/3=23.37>>23.37. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
