Question

Mike and 2 of his friends went out to eat. Their bill

was $52.36 plus 6.5% tax. How much did each
person pay?

Answer 1

$18.59

Explanation:

Assuming each person paid an equal amount of the bill:

52.36 + 52.36(0.065) = 52.36 + 3.4034 = 55.76

55.76 / 3 = 18.59 per person when rounded to the nearest cent.

Hope this helped!
