Answer:
$29.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of meal for the 3 friends = $72.50
sales tax = 6.75%
percent tip = 15%
Total %paid on meal = 6.75%+15% = 21.75%
Increment paid = 21.75% of $72.50
Increment paid = 21.75/100 * 72.50
Increment paid = 21.75 * 0.7250
Increment paid = $15.7685
Total amount paid = original cost + increment
Total amount paid = $72.50+$15.7685
Total amount paid = $88.26875
If the 3 friends paid $88.26875
Each person will pay $88.26875/3 = $29.42
Hence each person will pay $29.42
