Question

James and Sarah went out to lunch the price of a lunch for both of them was $20 they tipped their server 20% of that amount. How much did each person pay if they shared the price of lunch and a tip

equally?

Answer 1

$24

Explanation:

James and Sarah's lunches cost $20 each, so the total price of their meal is 20 * 2 = $40.

They tipped their server 20% of $40, so to find 20% of 40 you would multiply:

40 * 0.20 = 8

Add 8 to 40 = $48.

If they shared this lunch price of $48 equally then they each paid half of this price.

48 / 2 = 24

They each paid $24.
