Question

Spencer went to dinner with 5 friends. They split the bill evenly and then each threw in $2 for the tip. If Spencer spent $10, how much was the original bill?

Answer 1

$48

Explanation:

Spencer has 5 friends, which means there are six people total.

If he spent $10, and $2 was for the tip, that means he spent $8 on the actual meal. If each person spent $8 on the actual meal, then 8 multiplied by 6 is $48.
