Question

My problem is~ You go to a restaurant with four other people. The total for the food is $43.85. You need to add 5% for tax and 15% for tip. If you decide to split the bill evenly, estimate how much you will pay?

Answer 1

The total payment is

$$\$43.85(1+0.05+0.15)=\$52.62$$

Thus, we need to pay

$$\frac{\$52.62}{5}=\$10.524$$

We round answer to $10.52.
