Answer:

The correct answer is $ 60. That is 3rd equation x/4=15.

Step-by-step explanation :

According to question, total person are four and each person is paying $15.

That means we have to multiply the amount paying by the each person to the number of persons.

Accordingly, 15 * 4 = 60

So 60 is the answer

Now, according to equation 1.

i.e., x/3=15

so 60/2=20

and 15 is not = 20

so this equation is not correct.

Now, according to 2nd equation

i.e., 15x=4

so 15 * 60 =900

and 900 is not equal to 15

according to 3rd one

i.e., x/4=15

so 60/4=15

and 15=15

so, this equation is used to find correct answer.
