Question

Today, 9 friends went out for lunch. Their total bill was $47.68, including tax and gratuity. One of them ordered only soda and needed to

pay only $1.12. The other 8 friends ordered the same daily special. How much did each of the other friends need to pay?

Answer 1

$5.82

Explanation:

Start with the total amount, $47.68.

Subtract the amount o the soda.

$47.68 - $1.12 = $46.56

$46.56 was the cost of the food of the other 8 people.

$46.56/8 = $5.82

Answer: $5.82
