First, let's calculate the tax on the bill. The bill total before tax is $50.88, and the sales tax rate is 6%. So, the tax on the bill is 0.06*50.88 = $<<0.06*50.88=3.05>>3.05. Rounding this up to the nearest hundredth, the tax is $3.05.

Next, let's calculate the tip on the bill. The original bill total is $50.88, and the tip percentage is 30%. So, the tip amount is 0.30*50.88 = $<<0.30*50.88=15.26>>15.26.

The total bill amount, including tax and tip, is $50.88 + $3.05 + $15.26 = $69.19.

Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel want to split the bill evenly, each person will pay $69.19 / 3 = $<<69.19/3=23.06>>23.06.

Therefore, each person will pay $23.06.
