Answer 1

D.
`(B)/(6)=14.75`

Explanation:

Let B represent the total bill in dollars.

We have been given that last night, 6 friends went out to dinner at a restaurant. They split the bill evenly.

We can find the amount paid by each friend for the dinner by dividing B by 6.

`\text{Amount paid for dinner by each friend}=(B)/(6)`

As we are told that each friend paid $14.75, so upon equating this amount to our equation we will get,

`14.75=(B)/(6)`

Therefore, the equation
`(B)/(6)=14.75` can be used to find the total amount of bill in dollars and option D is the correct choice.
