Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know
- Amanda, Jen, and Shelby went to dinner and split the bill evenly.
- Each girl paid $14.25 and a tip (t).
- The total bill, including tip, was $51.75.
Find the amount each girl paid for tip t.
We have the equation:
14.25(3) + 3t = 51.75
42.75 + 3t = 51.75
3t = 9
t = $3
So, each girl paid a tip of $3.
