Question

Miguel and Jian go to a restaurant and eat dinner. The total cost of the meal is $75. Miguel and lar decide to split

the total cost. Miguel offers to pay a bit more since he is older. Both Miguel and plan only have cash in their wallets a
they do not have any coins. Let a represent Miguel's portion of the total cost and le representan's portion of the
COST.
The equation that best models the situation is
x=y+75
x+y=75
xy=75
x/y=75​

Answer 1

Answer:X+Y=75

if miguel and jian are splitting the bill then it would have to be x+y=75 because they are each paying their amounts lets say that jian pays 35 and miguel pays 40 that would make the total pay 75. if you had to go the other answers it wouldnt make sense example A:35=40+70 that is incorrect unless the restaurant only accepted spicific currency that the 2 didnt have and even then it would be over paying for C:3540 would mean that they are paying using a foren currancy that uses larger numbers for smaller amounts of pay as for D:35/40=75 that answer is not even mathmatically correct as an amount like that would not equal 75 no matter what way you put it without putting 75/1 although correct it says and implys that they split the bill almost evenly so D is also wrong

Answer 2

x+ y = 75

Explanation:

The both paid a total of 75.

Therefore, in order to get 75 you would need to add the amount each of them paid.
