Question

You decide to go to dinner with three friends. Before the check comes, the group decides to split the check evenly. The total

check is $134.50. As a group you decide to tip the waiter 20% on top of the total check amount. How much money should
you and each friend pay, including tip? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

You each will pay $40.35

Explanation:

First you take the total $134.50 and divide it by 4 which is you and your three friends.

This will give you 33.625 which is the amount each of you will pay without tip.

To find the tip you take 20% from $134.50 which will give you 26.9 and when you divide that by the four of you it will give you 6.725.

Then you take your amount 33.625 plus your tip 6.725 which will give you $40.35.

The total you all will pay will be $161.40 this is the total $134.50 plus the tip $26.90.

Hope this helped.
