Wendy and two friends went out to eat and decided they would split the bill. The total bill was $35.40. They also decided to leave a 20% tip. What is the price that each person paid?

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the amount of tip they left.

20% of $35.40 = $7.08

So the total cost including tip is

$35.40 + $7.08 = $42.48

Now we divide this by three (since there are three people) to get the price each person paid.

$42.48 / 3 = $14.16

So each person paid $14.16, including the tip.
