To determine how much each person will pay, we will first calculate the tax and tip based on the original bill total, then find the total amount and divide it by the number of people.
-
Calculate the sales tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Bill Total} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} = 50.88 \times 0.06 \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 3.0528 \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 3.05 \]
-
Calculate the tip: \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Bill Total} \times \text{Tip Rate} = 50.88 \times 0.30 \] \[ \text{Tip} = 15.264 \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Tip} = 15.26 \]
-
Calculate the total amount to be paid: \[ \text{Total Bill} = \text{Bill Total} + \text{Sales Tax} + \text{Tip} \] \[ \text{Total Bill} = 50.88 + 3.05 + 15.26 = 69.19 \]
-
Divide the total by the number of people: \[ \text{Amount per Person} = \frac{\text{Total Bill}}{\text{Number of People}} = \frac{69.19}{3} \] \[ \text{Amount per Person} \approx 23.0633 \] Rounding to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Amount per Person} = 23.06 \]
Thus, each person will pay $23.06.
