Question

Four friends go out to lunch and decide to split the bill evenly. The bill comes to $46.64. How much does each person owe?

Answer 1

So solve for how many each person owes, we need to set up an equation.

x stands for how much each person owes
46.64 is the total, so it goes after the equal sign.
4 people go out to lunch.

Equation : 4c = 46.64

Now, we need to solve for x.

Do the inverse operation.

4c/4 = 46.64/4 Divide each side by 4
c= 46.64/4
c= 11.66

Each person must pay 11.66 dollars

Final answer: Each person owes $11.66

Answer 2

each one has to pay $11.66
If you divide 46.64 by 4 you will get 11.66
