Question

Mark and his three Friends ate out at Applebees's . Their bill totaled % 52.35 . If they left a 20% tip how much would each person pay splitting the bill evenly?

Answer 1

Each person would pay $15.71

Explanation:

First we can calculate how much everyone ate by multiplying the bill amount by 120% (20% tip and 100% of the bill).

$52.35 * 120% = $62.82

Now to find out how much each pays, we have to divide that cost by the number of people (4).

$62.82/4 = $15.71
