Question 304046: Three friends ate dinner at a restaurant. The friends decided to add a 15% tip and then split the bill evenly. Each friend paid ten dollars and thirty five cents. What was the total bill for dinner before tip? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! each of them paid 10.35
total amount paid = 10.35 * 3= 31.05
less 15% of 31.05 will be the bill
0.15*31.05=4.66 was the tip
31.05 - 4.66= 26.39 was the bill before tip
