To find out how much each person should contribute towards the tip, we first need to calculate the total tip amount. The total bill is $140.72 and they decide to leave a 20% tip.
Total tip = $140.72 * 0.20 = $28.14
Since there are 7 people contributing towards the tip (Aaron and his 6 friends), each person should contribute: $28.14 / 7 = $4.02.
Therefore, each person should contribute approximately $4.02 towards the tip.
So the correct answer is:
$4.02
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.
