Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Dillon and 4 friends went for dinner ;

They all had the same meal except Dillion who did not order the $5 dessert

Total bill paid = $45

Amount paid by each person :

Let amount paid by each friend = x

Amount paid by dillion = x - 5

4x + x - 5 = 45

5x - 5 = 45

5x = 45 + 5

5x = 50

x = 10

Amount paid by each of the 4 friends = $10

Amoubt paid by Dillion = $10 - $5 = $5
