Question

Emilia and Sydney went out to dinner. The bill came to $48. They want to leave a 20% tip and

split the bill. How much do they each pay?
$9.60
$28.80
$57.60
$68.00

Answer 1

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Total bill = $48

Tip = 20%

Amount of tip = 20% of 48

Amount =
`(20)/(100)*48`

Amount = 0.2 * 48

Amount = $9.60

Total bill with tip = 48 + 9.60 = $57.60

Dividing by 2 as they are spliting the bill.

Each pays =
`(57.60)/(2)=28.80`

Therefore,

Option B is correct.
