Answer:
1: Tip, $2.23
2: Tax, $0.74
3: Total, $17.87
4: Split, $5.95
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the tip, you must multiply the tip percentage by the bill, (which has not been taxed yet). The tip is 15%, which is equivalent to 0.15. The tip multiplied by the bill (0.15×14.90) equals $2.23.
To find the tax, you do the same as you did with the tip. The tax is 5%, which equals 0.05. The tax multiplied by the bill, (0.05×14.90) equals $0.74. The total cost is the bill, tip, and tax added together, (14.90+2.23+0.74) equals $17.87. To find out how much each person will pay equally, you must divide the total bill by the amount of people, (17.87÷3) which equals $5.95.
