Question

Four friends split equally a lunch bill of $36.96 plus 20% tip. how much did each person pay?

Answer 1

If we are rounding so that the decimal only goes up to the hundredths place you would get $38.80 but if you are going to thousandths you would get $38.808.

Answer 2

$11.09

Explanation:

The split will include the tip. As such, the lunch bill and the tip will be split equally among the friends.

Since there are 4 friends,

The total cost = ($36.96 + 20% × $36.96)

= $44.352

Dividing this among the 4 friends

= $44.352 /4

= $11.09

Each person pays $11.09.
