Question

You and TWO of your closest friends went to a restaurant for dinner. The bill came to $25.60. You want to split the bill EQUALLY and leave a 20% tip. How much does each person owe? (Show Work.)

A: $5.12
B: $8.53
C: $10.24

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they left a tip of 20% you find 20% of 25.60, and then add it to 25.60.

You add 5.12 and 25.60 because it was a tip, they gave that much more.

So 20% which is 5.12.

25.60 + 5.12 = 30.72

since there were 3 people in total you just divide

30.72 / 3

= 10.24
