To calculate how much each person will pay, we first need to determine the total amount of the bill including tax and tip.
-
Calculate the Sales Tax: The sales tax is 6% of the bill total.
\[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Bill Total} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 50.88 \times 0.06 = 3.0528 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the sales tax is:
\[ \text{Sales Tax} = 3.05 \]
-
Calculate the Tip: The tip is 30% of the bill total.
\[ \text{Tip} = \text{Bill Total} \times \text{Tip Rate} = 50.88 \times 0.30 = 15.264 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the tip is:
\[ \text{Tip} = 15.26 \]
-
Calculate the Total Bill Amount: Now we add the original bill amount, sales tax, and tip to find the total bill.
\[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Bill Total} + \text{Sales Tax} + \text{Tip} \]
\[ \text{Total Bill} = 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.19 \]
-
Split the Total Bill Among Three People: Since they are splitting the bill evenly among Ken, Mike, and Ariel, we divide the total bill by 3.
\[ \text{Amount per Person} = \frac{\text{Total Bill}}{3} = \frac{69.19}{3} = 23.0633 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the amount each person pays is:
\[ \text{Amount per Person} = 23.06 \]
Thus, each person will pay $23.06.
