Question

A group of six friends dined at Mellow Mushroom, and the total bill was $63. Calculate the following:

A) How much money does each friend owe?
B) If they paid with $70 cash, how much change will they receive?

A) $10.50 per friend
B) $6 in change
C) $11 per friend
D) $7 in change

Answer 1

Each friend owes $10.50 and they will receive $7 in change if they pay with $70 cash.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much money each friend owes, divide the total bill by the number of friends. In this case, the total bill is $63 and there are 6 friends, so each friend owes $63 / 6 = $10.50.

To calculate how much change they will receive if they pay with $70 cash, subtract the total bill from the amount of cash. In this case, the total bill is $63 and they pay with $70, so they will receive $70 - $63 = $7 in change.
