Answer:

Each person should pay 22.21

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount that you should spend, multiply the tip and tax amounts by the cost of the meal.

72.50 * 7.5% = 5.44

72.50 * 15% = 10.88

Now we add the cost of dinner to those two amounts.

72.50 + 5.44 + 10.88 = 88.82

And to find the cost for each person, divide the whole thing by 4.

88.82/4 = 22.21
