Question

James and Sarah went out to lunch. The price of lunch for both of them was $60. They tipped their server

25% of that amount
How much did each person pay if they shared the price of lunch and the tip equally?

Answer 1

$37.50

Explanation:

$60 x .25 = $15 (tip)

$60 (meal) + $15 (tip) = $75

$75 ÷ 2 (# of people splitting the cost) = $37.50
