Question

Paul and nine of his friends went out to eat. They decided to split the bill evenly. Each person paid $9, but Paul added a $5 slice of pie. What was the total bill with the pie added?

A. $54
B. $59
C. $60
D. $64

Answer 1

The total bill with the pie added is $140.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total bill with the pie added, we need to add the cost of the pie to the amount each person paid. If each person paid $9 and Paul added a $5 slice of pie, then the total amount Paul paid is $9 + $5 = $14. Since there are 10 people in total, the total bill with the pie added is $14 x 10 = $140.
