Question

Three friends go out to dinner. The total bill at the restaurant was $63.25 and the 3 friends wanted to leave a 15% tip for the server. What was the average spent per person including the tip? Show your work. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The average spent per person would be about $27.63

Step-by-step explanation:

$63.25 + 15(3)

Step 1 - Multiply 15 (the tip) times 3 (amount of friends) which equals 45% (or $19.63)

Step 2 - Add 63.25 and 19.63 which equals 82.88.

$63.25 + $19.63 = $82.88

The average bill in total would be about $82.88

Step 3 - Divide the total by 3(each person)

82.88 ÷ 3 = 27.63

The average spent per person including the tip would be about $27.63.
