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. (1 point)

Answer 1

First, we need to find the total bill amount after tax and before the tip. The sales tax is 6%, so the total bill amount after tax is 1 + 6/100 = 1.06 times the before-tax amount.
So the total bill amount after tax is $50.88 * 1.06 = $<<50.88*1.06=53.92>>53.92.
Then we add the 30% tip, which is 30/100 * $53.92 = $<<30/100*53.92=16.18>>16.18.
Therefore, the total amount to be paid by each person is ($53.92 + $16.18) / 3 = $<<53.92+16.18)/3=23.37>>23.37. Answer: \boxed{23.37}.
