Answer:

Each person will pay $ 7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the total bill

Pizza $18.60

Salad $2.50

Soda $2.25

Total  $ 23.35

Sales Tax would be=  8 1/4% of $ 23.35 =$ 1.926= $ 1.93

Tip = 15% of $ 23.35= $ 3.5025

Total Bill paid= $ 23.35 + $ 1.93+ $3.50= $ 28.7825 or $ 28.78

Now dividing the bill among 4 persons = $ 28.78/4= $ 7.196 or $ 7.20

Paying the bill equally is better  and convenient than paying alone as each person gets an equal share of pizza, salad and the soda.
