Answer 1

15. $8.47

16. $14.68

17. $121.04

18. $60.52

Explanation:

15. Sale tax Round to the nearest cent=

8.65% of $97.89 = 0.0865 × $97.89 = $8.47

16. Tips Round to the nearest cent=

15% of $97.89 = 0.15 × $97.89 = $14.68

17. Total =

$97.89 + $8.47 + $14.68 = $121.04

18. Amount each person pays Round to the nearest cent =

$121.04/2 = $60.52
