To find out how much each person will pay, we first need to calculate the total bill including the tip.

  1. Calculate the tip:

    • Tip = 15% of $27.00
    • Tip = 0.15 × 27.00 = $4.05

  2. Calculate the total bill including the tip:

    • Total bill = $27.00 + $4.05 = $31.05

  3. Split the total bill 3 ways:

    • Amount per person = Total bill / 3
    • Amount per person = $31.05 / 3 = $10.35

Therefore, each person will pay $10.35.
