Question

A group of friends equally split the dinner bill shown(82,28,52,33,29).If each person paid $16,how many friends paid

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here are some tips for how to split the bill when you are out with friends:

Splitting the Bill with Friends

To avoid any conflict, talk openly with your friends about sharing the bill as early as possible. Then, at the restaurant, ask the server if he or she can provide your party with separate checks. Even if the restaurant does not provide this option, asking this question will show everyone that you are only willing to pay for your portion. However, this approach only works if everyone hears your conversation with the server.

Answer 2

The number of friends that paid for the bill is 14

To calculate the number of friend we have add all the bills together then divide it by the number of fiends and equate it to 16

Represent the number of friends that shared the bills by x

Total number of bill = 82 + 28 + 52 + 33 + 29

= 224

Each person paid $16

therefore;

224/x = 16

16x = 224

x = 224/16

x = 14

Therefore 14 friends shared the bill.
