8 friends go out to dinner, and they asked you to divide the $177 bill. If you want to tip the waiter 20%, how much does each person owe

Respuesta :

Each person owe $26.55

Explanation:

Given:

Number of friends = 8

Total bill = $177

Tip to the waiter = 20%

Each person owe = ?

Tip to the waiter = [tex]\frac{20}{100}X177\\ \\[/tex]

                            = $35.4

Total bill will become = $177 + $35.4

                                   = $212.4

Each person owe = [tex]\frac{total}{number of people}[/tex]

                             = [tex]\frac{212.4}{8}[/tex]

                             = $26.55    

Therefore, each person owe $26.55
