A group of 4 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $40, which included the $34 food bill and the tip. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves.

One of the friends used the equation 1/4(f+34)=40/4 to represent the situation, where t represents the total amount of the tip. Which describes the amount each friend paid for the food and for the tip?

Answer: where each friend paid $1.50 for the tip and $8.50 for the food.

Explanation:

the group has 4 friends.

The total cost is $40.

the price of the food was $34, and the tip was the rest:

tip = $40 - $24 = $6

if we want to describe the amount that each friend paid for the food and the tip is:

p = (1/4)*($6 + $34) = $(6/4) + $(34/4) = $1.50 + $8.50

where each friend paid $1.50 for the tip and $8.50 for the food.
