3 people are eating at their favorite icecream shop. They plan to split the bill evenly. They decide to leave a 30% tip. The total bill is $50.88 before tax. Tax here is 6%. How much will each person pay? Both tax and tip are calculated in the original total. Round the tip and tax to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating. Round your final answer to the nearest hundreth.

Answer 1

The tax amount is 6% of $50.88, which is (0.06)($50.88) = $3.05
So the total bill with tax is $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93
Next, they leave a 30% tip, which is (0.30)($53.93) = $16.18
So the total bill with tax and tip is $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11
Finally, they will split the bill evenly, so each person will pay $70.11 / 3 = $<<70.11/3=23.37>>23.37. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
