Answer 1

Answer: Required expression:
`([ (86) + 0.18 *(86 ) + 0.06 * (86 )])/(4)`

Each person need to pay =$ 26.66

Explanation:

Given: Bill amount = $86

Tip percent = 18%

Sales tax = 6%

Now, total bill = (Bill amount ) + 18% of (Bill amount ) + 6% of (Bill amount )

= $[ (86) + 18% of (86 ) + 6% of (86 )]

= $[ (86) + 0.18 x(86 ) + 0.06 x (86 )]

Total persons = 3+1 = 4

Each person need to pay=
`\frac{\text{total bill}}{4}`

`=([ (86) + 0.18 *(86 ) + 0.06 * (86 )])/(4)\\\\=([ (86) (1+ 0.18 +0.06 )])/(4)\\\\=(86(1.24))/(4)=(106.64)/(4)=26.66`

So, each person need to pay =$ 26.66
