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? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (points)

Answer 1

First, calculate the tip amount by multiplying the bill total by the tip percentage: $50.88 * 30% = $<<50.88*30*.01=15.26>>15.26
Then calculate the total bill amount including the tip: $50.88 + $15.26 = $<<50.88+15.26=66.14>>66.14
Then calculate the amount each person needs to pay before tax by dividing the total bill amount by the number of people: $66.14 / 3 people = $<<66.14/3=22.05>>22.05 per person
Then calculate the amount of the tax by multiplying the total bill amount by the tax rate: $66.14 * 6% = $<<66.14*6*.01=3.97>>3.97
Then add the tax to the total bill amount to find the final bill amount: $66.14 + $3.97 = $<<66.14+3.97=70.11>>70.11
Finally, divide the final bill amount by the number of people to find the amount each person needs to pay, rounded to the nearest hundredth: $70.11 / 3 people = $<<70.11/3=23.37>>23.37 per person. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
