Question

6. Roberto, his sister, and a friend went out to dinner. The total bill for the three of them

came to $46. They decided to leave a 20% tip. If the bill is split evenly, how much should
each person pay?
Part I: Calculate 20% of $46. (Hint: Convert 20% to a decimal first.) (2 points)

Answer 1

each should pay $18.40

Explanation:

bill: $46

20% of $46 is $9.20

total bill: $55.20

total bill split into 3: $55.20/3 = $18.40

Answer 2

They will each pay $18.40.

Explanation:

you would calculate 20% of 46 and add the result to 46

Then you get $55.20 (This represents the total bill including the tip)

Now you divide that total by 3 (three represents the 3 friends)
