Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$27.63 / 2 = $13.82

$13.82 * 0.20 = $2.76

$13.82 + $2.76 = $16.58

The total amount Amy should pay, including the tip is;

1105 cents

We are told that their total bill including tax is $27.63.

     Now, since they decided to split the bill equally, since they are 3 people, the amount each will have to pay is;

27.63/3 = $9.21

     We are told that amy wants to leave a 20% tip for her portion. Thus, amount amy would pay in total will be;

$9.21 + 0.2(9.21) = $11.052

Converting from dollar to cents, we know that;

$1 = 100 cents

Thus;

$11.052 = 11.052 × 100

⇒ 1105.2 cents

approximating to the nearest cent gives; 1105 cents
