Answer 1

$11.57

Explanation:

First, find the total amount they need to pay.

Add the bill for lunch and the tip amount.

bill + tip

The bill was $29.46 and the tip was $5.25

$29.46 + $5.25

$34.71

The total amount with tip is $34.71

Next, find the amount each person should pay.

They want to divide the amount equally. There are 3 total people ( Jack + 2 friends = 3 people). Divide the total ($34.71) by 3.

$34.71 /3

$11.57

Each person should pay $11.57
