James and Sarah went out to lunch. The price of lunch for both of them was $40. They tipped their server 30% of that amount. How much did each person pay if they shared the price of lunch and the tip equally?

each person paid $26

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of lunch for both of them was $40.

They tipped their server 30% of that amount. This means that the amount of money that they tipped the server is

30/100 × 40 = 0.3 × 40 = $12

The total amount that they paid for the lunch and tip is

40 + 12 = $52

If they shared the price of lunch and the tip equally, it means that the amount each of them paid is

52/2 = $26

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
