Question

At a restaurant, Isabel and Nancy received a bill for $12.42. If they leave a tip of 15%, how much will each girl pay if they equally divide the total amount? Round where necessary.

Answer 1

$7.14

Explanation:

Given:

Isabel , Nancy = 2 humans

Bill = $12.42

Tip = 15%

To Find:

How much will each girl pay if they equally divide the total amount?

Solve:

$12.42 × 15% = 1.863

1.863 ≈ 1.86

$12.42 + 1.86 = 14.28

14.28 ÷ 2 = 7.14

Therefore each girl pays $7.14 .
