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.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the total tip amount, we can multiply the total bill by the tip percentage:

Total tip amount = $140.72 * 20% = $140.72 * 0.20 = $28.14

Since there are 7 people in total (Aaron and his 6 friends) and they want to split the bill equally, each person should contribute:

$28.14 / 7 = $4.02 (rounded to two decimal places)

Each person should contribute approximately $4.02 towards the tip.
