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.(1 point)

The tax on the bill is 6% of $50.88, which is found by multiplying $50.88 by 6% which gives 0.06 * $50.88 = $3.05.
The bill total including the tax is $50.88 + $3.05 = $53.93.
The total bill including the tip is found by multiplying $53.93 by 30%, which gives 0.30 * $53.93 = $16.18.
The final bill total including the tip is $53.93 + $16.18 = $70.11.
Since Ken, Mike, and Ariel plan to split the bill evenly, each person will pay $70.11 / 3 = $23.37.
Therefore, each person will pay $23.37.
