A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves.

Which equations and solutions describe the situation? Select two options.
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = StartFraction 76 over 8 EndFraction represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = 76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
The solution x = 60 represents the total food bill.
The solution x = 60 represents each friend’s share of the food bill and tip.
The equation 8 (x + 16) = 76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
