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
First, we need to calculate the tip. The bill total before tax is $50.88. To calculate the tip, we multiply this amount by 30%: $50.88 * 0.3 = $15.26.
Next, we need to calculate the tax. The tax rate in Florida is 6%. To calculate the tax, we multiply the bill total before tax by 6%: $50.88 * 0.06 = $3.05.
Now we can calculate the total amount each person will pay. We add the bill total before tax, the tip, and the tax: $50.88 + $15.26 + $3.05 = $69.19.
Finally, we divide the total amount by 3 (since there are 3 people) to find out how much each person will pay: $69.19 / 3 = $23.06.
Therefore, each person will pay $23.06.
