Answer 1

The number of students in the group = 13

Explanation:

The number of students in the group = 13

for this question,

Let n be the number of students.

Each student received a bacon cheeseburger and milkshake, and the total bill was $104.00

We need to find the total number of students in the group.

A Bacon Cheeseburger costs $4.75 and Milkshake costs $3.25.

The total cost of a bacon cheeseburger and milkshake is:

$4.75 + $3.25 = $8

The total bill was $104.00

So, we get an equation,

⇒ 8 × n = 104

By unitary method,

⇒ n = 104/8

⇒ n = 13

Therefore, the number of students in the group = 13
