Three persons had dinner in a restaurant. The total bill came to $51.60.
The tip left by them was 25% and was divided equally among them. What was the tip per head

Respuesta :

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:

[tex]0.25(51.6) = \$ 12.9[/tex]

The total tip is $12.9.

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

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{12.9}{3}=\$ 4.30[/tex]

Each person tipped $4.30.
