To calculate how much each person will pay after including tax and tip based on the total bill before tax, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the sales tax:

    • The original total of the bill is $50.88.
    • Florida sales tax is 6%, so: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \]
    • Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the sales tax is: \[ 3.05 \]
  2. Calculate the tip:

    • The tip is 30% of the original total, so: \[ \text{Tip} = 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \]
    • Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the tip is: \[ 15.26 \]
  3. Calculate the total amount including tax and tip:

    • Total amount = Original total + Sales tax + Tip \[ \text{Total Amount} = 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.19 \]
  4. Split the total amount between two people:

    • Each person pays: \[ \text{Each Person's Share} = \frac{69.19}{2} = 34.595 \]
    • Rounded to the nearest hundredth, each person pays: \[ 34.60 \]

Thus, each person will pay $34.60.
