Question

A group of 5 friends are eating at a restaurant together. The final bill for the whole meal is 60 dollars, and the friends decide to split the bill evenly. One of the friends named Armando has D dollars in his wallet. How many dollars will Armando have in his wallet after he pays for his portion of the bill? Write your answer as an algebraic expression.

a) D - 60/5
b) D + 60/5
c) D - 5/60
d) D + 5/60

Answer 1

After paying his $12 share of a $60 bill split between 5 friends, Armando will have D - 12 dollars left, represented by the expression D - 60/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a group of 5 friends decide to split a $60 bill evenly, each person will pay $60 divided by 5, which equals $12. So, if Armando has D dollars in his wallet, after he pays for his portion of the bill, he will have D minus $12 remaining. The algebraic expression that represents the amount of money Armando will have after he pays is D - 60/5.
