Three friends go in on a pizza, which costs \$10.49 before 6% tax. Mike agrees to pay \$4, and Mickey and Morris agree to split the remainder of the cost evenly. How much will Morris pay?

$\$ 3.56$

$\$ 3.25$

$\$6.50$

$\$7.12$

$\$4.00$

Explanation

6% of 10.49 is equal to

$$ 10.49 \times 0.06 =$ 0.6294$ ,

which, to the nearest cent, rounds to $\$ 0.63$ .

Add this tax to the price of the pizza; the amount paid is

$\$ 10.49+ 0.63 = \$11.12$

Mike pays \$4, so Morris will pay half the remainder, or

$($ 11.12 -$ 4.00) \div 2 = $ 7.12 \div 2 = $3.56$ .
