Aaron and six of his friends go out to dinner. The total bill comes to $140.72. They decide to leave a 20% tip. Each person will contribute an equal amount to the total tip. Estimate what each person should contribute towards the tip.(1 point)
To find the total tip amount, we can multiply the total bill by the tip percentage:
Total tip amount = $140.72 * 20% = $140.72 * 0.20 = $28.14
Since there are 7 people in total (Aaron and his 6 friends) and they want to split the bill equally, each person should contribute:
$28.14 / 7 = $4.02 (rounded to two decimal places)
Each person should contribute approximately $4.02 towards the tip.
