First, find the total amount of the tip by multiplying the bill total by the tip percentage: $50.88 * .30 = $<<50.88*.30=15.26>>15.26
Then add the tip amount to the bill total to find the price before tax and tip: $50.88 + $15.26 = $<<50.88+15.26=66.14>>66.14
Then divide the tax rate by 100 to convert it to a decimal: 6 / 100 = .06
Then multiply the price before tax and tip by the tax rate to find the amount of the tax: $66.14 * .06 = $<<66.14*.06=3.9684>>3.97
Then add the price before tax and tip to the tax amount to find the total price: $66.14 + $3.97 = $<<66.14+3.97=70.11>>70.11
Then divide the total cost by three to find the cost per person: $70.11 / 3 = $<<70.11/3=23.37>>23.37. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
Ken, Mike, and Ariel are 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 total is $50.88 before tax. If Florida’s 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.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution.
First, calculate the tip amount by multiplying the bill total by the tip percentage: $50.88 * 0.30 = $<<50.88*0.30=15.264>>15.26 (rounded to the nearest cent).
Add the tip amount to the bill total: $50.88 + $15.26 = $66.14.
Next, calculate the tax amount by multiplying the bill total by the tax rate: $66.14 * 0.06 = $3.97 (rounded to the nearest cent).
To find the total amount per person, add the bill total, tip amount, and tax amount together: $66.14 + $15.26 + $3.97 = $85.37.
Finally, divide the total by the number of people: $85.37 / 3 = $28.46.
Each person will pay $28.46.
