Question

Melissa and Joey enjoyed dinner at a restaurant. They paid the waiter $100.50 plus a 20% tip. How much did each person pay if they split the total bill in half?

Answer 1

Shouldnt you divide? This s a guess. I never learned this but i think it goes by dividing.

Answer 2

100.50 + a 20% tip....split among 2 people

100.50 + 0.20(100.50) = 100.50 + 20.10 = 120.60
120.60 / 2 = $ 60.30.....so each of them paid $ 60.30
