Question

Five friends went to a local restaurant and all had the buffet at $6.75 each. Two friends added ice cream for dessert for $1.99 each. The following is their restaurant bill. Does it seem reasonable? $6.75 + $6.75 + $6.75 + $6.75 + $6.75 + $1.99 + $1.99 = $37.73

Answer 1

Greetings

Answer:

Yes,

Explanation:

It does seem reasonable because you only have 5 different additions, all of which are less than about 3/4 through $10 and two additions that are quite small. The price given is reasonable because it is in the expected range of the purchase.

Plus, the actual total is indeed $7.73

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, it seems reasonable.

Explanation:

1. You must keep on mind the information given in the problem:

- There were 5 friends.

- Each one of them had a buffet with a cost of $6.75.

- Two friends added ice cream for dessert for $1.99 each.

2. Therefore, the total cost is the adding of five buffets at $6.75 and two ice creams at $1.99, as following:

`6.75+6.75+6.75+6.75+6.75+1.99+1.99=37.73`

3. As you can see, it is reasonable because the total restaurant bill was $37.73, which is the sum of five buffets and two ice creams.
