Can Mike and Ariel are eating out at their favorite restaurant they each order a sandwich combo and plan to split the bill evenly they service they receive at the restaurant is amazing so they decide to leave a 30% tip. Their bill total 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 bill round the tip and the nearest hundredth immediately after calculating round your final result to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost each person will pay, we will follow these steps:

1. Calculate Sales Tax:

   • The original bill amount is $50.88.
   • Florida sales tax is 6%.
   • Sales tax = \( 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \).
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \( 3.05 \).

2. Calculate Total Bill After Tax:

   • Total after tax = Original bill + Sales tax = \( 50.88 + 3.05 = 53.93 \).

3. Calculate Tip:

   • The tip is calculated on the original bill amount.
   • Tip = \( 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \).
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \( 15.26 \).

4. Calculate Total Bill with Tip:

   • Total with tip = Total after tax + Tip = \( 53.93 + 15.26 = 69.19 \).

5. Calculate Amount Each Person Pays:

   • Since they are splitting the bill evenly, each person pays = \( 69.19 / 2 = 34.595 \).
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \( 34.60 \).

Thus, each person will pay $34.60.

I just put in and it was wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for any errors in the initial calculations. Let’s carefully go through the calculations step by step again to find out how much each person will pay, including tax and tip.

1. Original Bill: $50.88

2. Calculate Sales Tax:

   • Sales tax rate = 6%
   • Sales tax = \( 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \)
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: $3.05

3. Calculate Total After Tax:

   • Total after tax = Original bill + Sales tax
   • Total after tax = \( 50.88 + 3.05 = 53.93 \)

4. Calculate Tip:

   • Tip rate = 30% of the original bill
   • Tip = \( 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \)
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: $15.26

5. Calculate Total Bill with Tip:

   • Total with tip = Total after tax + Tip
   • Total with tip = \( 53.93 + 15.26 = 69.19 \)

6. Calculate Amount Each Person Pays:

   • Amount per person = Total with tip / 2
   • Amount per person = \( 69.19 / 2 = 34.595 \)
   • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: $34.60

Each person will pay $34.60.
