Question

Six friends ate in a restaurant together and split the total cost, c, equally. Each person paid less than $8.Which statements represent the scenario? Check all that apply.The total cost of the food, c, can be represented by the inequality <8hpThe total cost of the food could be $48.The total cost of the food could be $36.When graphed, the number line would be shaded to the left of the maximum value.The total cost of the food must be greater than $60.

Answer 1

Six friends ate in a restaurant together and split the total cost c equally. Each person paid less than $8, the statement that best describes it is:

`(c)/(6)<8\rightarrow(1)`

Therefore (1) points to the first option, which is the answer, and rearranging (1) gives the following:

The inequality (2) implies that the total cost of the food is less than $48.
