Question

Four friends equally share the cost of their dinner that was $64 plus a 20% tip. If each person contributes $19, will that be enough to cover the bill with tip? Explain.

Answer 1

If the dinner altogether costs £64, and there is a 20% tip, that brings the total amount paid to £76.80, and if four people are paying £19 towards the total, then there would not be enough for them to pay for both the meal and the tip, as 19x4 is 76, and the total is £76.80, meaning you need another 80 Pence.

Answer: No, as there is 80 pence off the total amount with all of there money added together which they would need to pay for the meal and the tip.

Hope this helps! Xo
