Mr. Clark and ten of his friends go out to lunch. The total bill comes to $175.42They decide to leave a 20% tip. Each person will contribute an equal amount to the total tip. Estimate what each person should contribute . (1 point)
To estimate what each person should contribute for the tip, we first need to calculate the total amount of the tip.
The total bill is $175.42.
The tip percentage is 20%.
To find the tip amount:
Tip amount = Total bill * Tip percentage
= $175.42 * 20%
= $175.42 * 0.20
= $35.08
Now that we know the total tip amount is $35.08, we can calculate the amount each person should contribute.
There are 10 friends, so to find the individual contribution:
Individual contribution = Total tip amount / Number of friends
= $35.08 / 10
= $3.51
Therefore, each person should contribute approximately $3.51.
