Aaron and sic of his friends go out to dinner. The total bill comes to $140.72. They divide to ;eave a 20% tip. each person will contribute an equal amount to the total tip. Estimate what each person should contribute towards the tip.

Answer 1

To estimate what each person should contribute towards the tip, we need to calculate 20% of the total bill.

20% of $140.72 = 0.20 * $140.72 = $28.14

Since the tip is divided equally among Aaron and his friends, we divide the total tip amount by the number of people (5 people - Aaron and his four friends).

$28.14 / 5 = $5.63

Therefore, each person should contribute approximately $5.63 towards the tip.
