Question

Mark and his three friends ate out at Applebee’s. Their bill totaled $52.35. If they left the server a 20% tip, how much would each person pay splitting the bill evenly

Answer 1

Hey there!

For this problem, you'll first want to calculate how much the bill will be including the 20% tip. To convert a percentage to a decimal, take the decimal point to the left two numbers. Remember that 20 is the same thing as 20.0. 

20% = 0.2 

Next, multiply the amount by that decimal, then add the tip to the total bill. 

$52.35 * 0.2 = $10.47 (tip amount)
$52.35 + $10.47 = $62.82 (total including tip)

Now, just divide that by four people to get your final answer. 

$62.82 / 4 = $15.705

Because you can't have half of a cent, the problem probably just wants you to round up to $15.71, even though this will make the bill equal to $62.84. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer 2

For each person among three friends the pay will be of $20.94

What will be the share of each person?

Total bill = $52.35

Server tip =20%

Server tip amount will be = $\dfrac{52.35\times20}{100}$

Server tip amount will be = $10.47

Total amount payable by all three freinds = 52.35+10.47

                                                                     = $62.82

So amount paid by each of the three will be = $\dfrac{Total amount}{3}$

                                                                         = $\dfrac{62.82}{3}$

                                                                         = $20.94

Hence For each person among three friends  the pay will be of $20.94
