Keith and Michelle went out to dinner. the total cost of their meal, including the tip, came to $53.70. if the combined tip came out to $9.60, and each friend spent an equal amount, how much did each friend pay not including the tip?
If you subtract the $9.60 from the $53.70 you would be taking out the tip which would be $44.10. Then if you divide the $44.10 by 2, because they both payed equally, you would get $22.05 per person, not including the tip.
