Question

today, 6 friends went out for lunch. their total Bill was $41.88, including tax and gratuity. they decide to split the Bill equally and each paid a $10 Bill. how much money will each person get back?

Answer 1

To solve this question, we first need to find out the total amount that the 6 friends payed. We can do this by multiplying the amount each one of them payed by the number of friends there are. Since there are 6 friends and they each payed $10, we know that the total payed is $60. 

Now, we need to find the amount that the 6 friends over-payed, which can be derived by subtracting the amount they payed and the amount they were supposed to pay. 

$60 - $41.88 = 
=$18.12

Now that we know how much they over-payed as a group, we need to find out how much each of them over-payed individually, which will be the money they get back. This can be solved by dividing the amount they over-payed as a group by the number of friends.

$18.12 / 6 =
=$3.02, meaning that they each will get back $3.02

Answer 2

Each person will get back $3.02
