Question

After Friday's football game, Megan and her friends go out for ice cream. They share the Mega Mountain sundae and finish the whole thing! When they pay for the sundae, Megan evenly divides the total among 5 people. Each person pays $5.20. Which equation can you use to find the total cost c of the sundae?

Answer 1

Answer: c= $( 5 x 5.20)

Explanation:

Given: Total people =5

Money paid by each person = $5.20

Total cost of the sundae = (Number of people ) x (Money paid by each person)

Total cost of sunday : c= 5 x ($5.20)

i.e.Total cost of sunday = $(5 x 5.20)

i.e.Total cost of sunday = $ 26

Hence, the required equation to represent the total cost (c) of the sundae:

c= $( 5 x 5.20)
