Question

chris and sue went to the Chinese restaurant down the street. Their bill was $25.00 and they gave 22% tip. After they calculated the total, they split the bill evenly. How much did each person pay?

Answer 1

The bill was $25.00 and they gave a 22% tip.

First, let us find 22% of $25.00

`tip=(22)/(100)*25.00=5.50`

The total bill is

`total\: bill=\$25.00+\$5.50=\$30.50`

They split the bill evenly so divide the total bill by 2.

`(\$30.50)/(2)=\$15.25`

Therefore, each person paid $15.25.

Chris = $15.25

Sue = $15.25
