To calculate how much each person will pay, including tax and tip, we'll go through each step thoroughly.

  1. Calculate the tax:

    • The sales tax in Florida is 6%.
    • Tax = 6% of $50.85 = 0.06 * 50.85 = $3.051.
    • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: $3.05.
  2. Calculate the tip:

    • The tip is 30% of the original bill.
    • Tip = 30% of $50.85 = 0.30 * 50.85 = $15.255.
    • Rounding to the nearest hundredth: $15.26.
  3. Calculate the total bill including tax and tip: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Original Bill} + \text{Tax} + \text{Tip} \] \[ \text{Total} = 50.85 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.16 \]

  4. Split the total bill between Mike and Ariel: \[ \text{Each Person} = \frac{\text{Total}}{2} = \frac{69.16}{2} = 34.58 \]

Therefore, each person will pay $34.58 including tax and tip.
