Question

A restaurant has a policy in which an automatic gratuity of 18% is added to a table's bill when the table has 8 or more people. A bill for a large table comes to $510 before the gratuity is added. The total cost of the meal is divided evenly among 15 people at the table. How much does each person pay?

please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 dollars and 12 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

So since there are more than 8 people on the table, we can say that there will be an 18% gratuity that will be added to the final bill.

510+18%(510)

510+0.18×510

510+91.8

601.8$ is the total bill

since there are 15 people

601.8/15=40.12
