They decide to leave a 30% tip. Their total bill is $50.88 before tax a Florida sales tax is 6%. How much will each person pay both tip and tax are calculated based on the original total of the bill round the tip and the tax to the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating round your final answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

To determine how much each person will pay, we first need to calculate the tax and tip based on the original total of the bill of $50.88.

Step 1: Calculate the Florida sales tax. \[ \text{Tax} = \text{Total Bill} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} \] \[ \text{Tax} = 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \] Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives: \[ \text{Tax} \approx 3.05 \]

Step 2: Calculate the tip. \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Total Bill} \times \text{Tip Rate} \] \[ \text{Tip} = 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \] Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives: \[ \text{Tip} \approx 15.26 \]

Step 3: Calculate the total amount to be paid. \[ \text{Total Amount} = \text{Total Bill} + \text{Tax} + \text{Tip} \] \[ \text{Total Amount} = 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.19 \]

Step 4: Calculate the amount each person pays. Since there are 3 people: \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{\text{Total Amount}}{3} \] \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{69.19}{3} = 23.0633 \] Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives: \[ \text{Amount per person} \approx 23.06 \]

Therefore, each person will pay $23.06.
