Answer 1

Total: $65.45

----------------------

Tax rate: 8%

`65.45\cdot(8)/(1000)=5.236`

The tax is: $5.236

------------------------

Tip: 20%

`65.45\cdot(20)/(100)=13.09`

Tip: $13.09

---------------------------

Total price(Tp)= Total + The tax +Tip

`Tp=65.45+5.236+13.09=83.776`

The total price is: $83.776

---------------------------

There were four people so the total price is divided into those 4:

`(83.776)/(4)=20.944`

Each person should pay: $20.944
