Question

James and Sarah went out to lunch. The price of lunch for both of them was $60. They tipped their server 30% of that amount. How much did each person pay if they shared the price of lunch and the tip equally?​

Answer 1

The answer is that they both payed $9.00.

Explanation:

The both payed $60.00, and 30% of that is $18.00.

( $60.00*.03=$18.00)

$18.00 divided by two (two people, James and Sarah) is $9.00.

So they both payed $9.00 individually.
