One of the friends determines that each person owes $45.04. Estimate the amount each person should owe. Is the friend's calculation reasonable? Select from the drop-down menus to complete the sentence. The friend's calculation because each person should owe about .

Answer 1

Given : The Total Bill at the Restaurant is $84.99

Given : The Additional Tax is $5.10

⇒ Total Bill Including the Tax is : (84.99 + 5.10) = $90.09

Given : Three Friends decide to evenly split their Bill

⇒ $90.09 should be Divided into 3 Equal Parts

`\mathsf{\implies The\;Amount\;each\;person\;should\;owe\;is = ((90.09)/(3))}`

`\mathsf{\implies The\;Amount\;each\;person\;should\;owe\;is = 30.03\;Dollars}`

His Friend Calculation is not Reasonable
