Question

Mike and three of his friends charger about to go on a deep-sea fishing trip the trip cost $549 which they were split evenly my cost to tip the deckhand 20% of his share of the trip what is the total amount Mike was going on the fishing

Answer 1

steps:

$549/4 people
= $137.25/person

20% of $137.25
= 0.2 x 137.25
= $27.45

$27.45 + $137.25
= $164.70

therefore, mike will pay $164.70: $27.45 as a tip to the deckhand and $137.25 for his individual share of the entire trip.
