Question

You and your parents go out to a restaurant with another family. You decide to split a bill of $161 bill before tax. Both families liked the waitress. How much does each family tip on 18% tip?

Answer 1

Answer:

$94.99

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the tip is 18% and the bill before tip is $161

-We calculate the total bill(inclusive of tip):

$Total=Bill+Tip\\\\=161+0.18(161)\\\\=\ 189.98$

-Assuming the the split was in equal proportion, then each family will pay 50%of the total bill:

$Split \ Ratio=1:1\\\\Bill/Family=\frac{1}{2}\times 189.98\\\\=\ 94.99$

Hence, each family paid a  total of $94.99
