Question

Three persons had dinner in a restaurant. The total bill came to $51.60.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each person tipped $4.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total bill was $51.60. The three people paid a 25% tip, which was split evenly among them.

Since the tip is 25%, it will be 25% of the total. Hence:

$0.25(51.6) = \ 12.9$

The total tip is $12.9.

And since it was evenly split among three people, each person tipped:

$\displaystyle \frac{12.9}{3}=\ 4.30$

Each person tipped $4.30.
