Question

Jamie's older brother and his three friends want to split the cost of lunch they also want to leave a 15% tip how much should each person pay?

Answer 1

Answer:
$22.43

Explanation:
We can start by finding the amount that they should tip. The total bill is $78, so we should take 15% of 78 and add it to the total.
0.15 * 78 = 11.7
78 + 11.7 = 89.7
This means that the total cost of the bill, with a tip, is $89.70.
Since there are 4 people, we have to split this total into 4 if they all want to pay equally.
89.70 / 4 = 22.425 = $22.43 !

Hope this helps
