Can Mike and Ariel are all eating out at their favorite restaurant. They each order a sandwich combo and plan to split the bill evenly. The service they receive at the restaurant is amazing so they decide to leave a 30% tip. Their bill is $50.88 before tax if Florida sales tax is 6% how much will each person pay both tip and tax are calculated based on the original total of the meal round the tip and the tax to the nearest hundredth immediately before calculating round your final answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount that Mike and Ariel will pay, including the tax and tip, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the sales tax:

   • Bill before tax: $50.88
   • Sales tax rate in Florida: 6%

   \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \]

   Rounding the sales tax to the nearest hundredth gives us:

   \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 3.05 \]

2. Calculate the tip:

   • Tip rate: 30%

   \[ \text{Tip} = 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \]

   Rounding the tip to the nearest hundredth gives us:

   \[ \text{Tip} = 15.26 \]

3. Calculate the total bill including tax and tip:

   \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Original Bill} + \text{Sales Tax} + \text{Tip} \]

   \[ \text{Total Bill} = 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.19 \]

4. Split the total bill between Mike and Ariel:

   \[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{\text{Total Bill}}{2} = \frac{69.19}{2} = 34.595 \]

   Rounding the amount per person to the nearest hundredth gives:

   \[ \text{Amount per person} = 34.60 \]

Therefore, each person (Mike and Ariel) will pay $34.60.
