Question

Today, 8 friends went out for lunch. Their total bill was $43.53, including tax and gratuity. One of them ordered only soda and needed to pay only $1.74. The

other 7 friends ordered the same daily special. How much did each of the other friends need to pay?

Answer 1

5.97

Explanation:

If one of them only ordered soda which costs $1.74 then you do 43.53 - 1.74 =41.79. Then do 41.79 divided by the other 7 people. 41.79 divided by 7 gets you the answer $5.97
