Question

Logan and Zoey went out to dinner. Zoey’s dinner bill was $5 more than one-half of Logan’s bill If the total of the two bills combined was $60.26, what was Zoey’s dinner bill?

Answer 1

$23.42

Explanation:

zoey's bill= .5x+5

logan's bill= x

.5x+5+x=60.26

1.5x+5=60.26

1.5x=55.26

x=36.84

.5(36.84)+5= 23.42
