Answer:

Explanation:

find the tip

68.72 * 0.22 (22%) = 15.1184

I was hoping that 68.72 + 15.1184 would equal a nice round number, like if it had been 80 total, then they both could have dropped 40 dollars. which would make sense, and is probably what would really happen. But this is math, :D and it really doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be accurate.

so 68.72+15.12 = 83.84

83.84 / 2 =41.92 they each paid 41.92 or for crying out loud, would they really dig around for 92 cents? just give the waiter one whole dollar. So for accuracy they would each pay $41.92, but really they would each pay 42.00 dollars.. and to even be more real. they would each pay $40.00
