Question

Maria goes to Applebee's with her 2 friends. They each order an entrée, which costs $15 each, and a soda, which costs $3.50 each. They decide to leave a 3.75% tip on the total.

PART A: how much does the total bill come out to, using an algebraic expression

PART B: how much does Maria have to pay if they decide to split the bill evenly?

Answer 1

Part A: The total is 57.58

Part B: 19.19 each

Explanation:

Part A: 15(3) +3.50(3)=55.50

55.50 plus the 3.75% tip (not really addition i dont know how to find a percentage so i looked that part up) but it come out to $57.58

Part B: 57.58 divided by 3 is $19.19 ( I do 3 because Maria and 2 more friends)

Hope it helps and that it is 100% correct dont come at me if something is wrong with my math
