Question

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

Answer 1

Each person owe $26.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of friends = 8

Total bill = $177

Tip to the waiter = 20%

Each person owe = ?

Tip to the waiter =
`(20)/(100)X177\\ \\`

= $35.4

Total bill will become = $177 + $35.4

= $212.4

Each person owe =
`(total)/(number of people)`

=
`(212.4)/(8)`

= $26.55

Therefore, each person owe $26.55
