Question

chris and sue went to the Chinese restaurant down the street. Their bill was $25.00 and they gave 22% tip. After they calculated the total, they split the bill evenly. How much did each person pay?

Answer 1

The bill was $25.00 and they gave a 22% tip.

First, let us find 22% of $25.00

$tip=\frac{22}{100}\times25.00=5.50$

The total bill is

$total\: bill=\ 25.00+\ 5.50=\ 30.50$

They split the bill evenly so divide the total bill by 2.

$\frac{\ 30.50}{2}=\ 15.25$

Therefore, each person paid $15.25.

Chris = $15.25

Sue = $15.25
