Question

You and your parents go out to a restaurant with another family. You decide to split a bill of $161 bill before tax. Both families liked the waitress. How much does each family tip on 18% tip?

Answer 1

$94.99

Explanation:

-Given the tip is 18% and the bill before tip is $161

-We calculate the total bill(inclusive of tip):

`Total=Bill+Tip\\\\=161+0.18(161)\\\\=\$189.98`

-Assuming the the split was in equal proportion, then each family will pay 50%of the total bill:

`Split \ Ratio=1:1\\\\Bill/Family=(1)/(2)* 189.98\\\\=\$94.99`

Hence, each family paid a total of $94.99
