Answer:

$13.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mark and his 3 friends = 4 Total cost = $52, percent off: 20%

To find: How much each person would pay if they split the bill evenly.

Solution:

Firstly, since they left the server a 20% tip, multiply 20% by the total cost. Convert it to a fraction. Note: you're adding 20% to the total cost.

                                                    [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{52}{1}[/tex]

                                                      = [tex]_{52.2}[/tex]

Now, that is done, let's divide the newly found cost by the four friends.

                                                     [tex]\sqrt[4]{52.2}[/tex]

                                                   = [tex]{13.05}[/tex]

So, they would pay $13.05 evenly.
