Question

Jaime’s older brother and his three friends want to split the cost of lunch. They also want to leave a 15%–20% tip. How much should each person pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

First you have to split the cost of the meal and percentage so

$78.00 divided by 4 that's $19.50 each then after the 20% each would pay $23.40

Answer 2

Each person pay $23.4.

Given, from the fig the total cost of lunch without tip is $78.

Now, Jaime’s older brother and his three friends want to split the cost of lunch between them. So there is total 4 person.

Now each person have to pay $\frac{78}{4} = 19.5$  dollars.

Further they decided to pay tip say 20% so, the amount of tip is 20% of $78.

On calculating amount of tip $=\frac{20}{100} \times 78=15.6$.

Tip is divided among them so per person has to pay tip $=\frac{15.6}{4} =3.9$ dollars.

So, the total amount each person has to pay $=19.5+3.9=23.4$ dollars.

Hence each person pay $23.4.
