Five friends went to a restaurant and agreed to share the bill equally. however, one person forgot his wallet, so the other four friends' portions of the bill went up by $\$4$ each. how many dollars was the total bill?

Each person paid $12 plus the $4 for the one guy. This makes a total of $64.

5 people but one person forgot money

4 people had to pay 4 $ to cover for the guy, so that would mean one person had to pay 16 $. 16*5 to get the total amount, so the answer would be

80 dollars
