Question

Four friends go to dinner. Each chooses a different meal. When the check comes, they decide they will each pay the same amount. If the costs of the meals (including tax and tip) were $12.20, $11.00, $8.50, and $7.50, what should each friend pay so they cover the whole bill?​

Answer 1

Answer: Each friend should pay $9.80

Step-by-step explanation: First add up all their checks, then divide them by 4 (4 because there 4 friends) to get the amount each friend needs to pay.

$12.20 + $11.00 + $8.50 + $7.50= $39.20

39.30 / 4 = $9.80
