Question

A group of 8 friends went to lunh and Spent a total of $76 which included the food bill in the tip of $16 they decide to split the bill into evenly among themselves

Answer 1

The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.

The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.

Explanation:

As in the question it is mentioned that there is eight group of friends and the total amount incurred is $76 that also involved $16

Now let us assume the food bill be x

So the equation would be

(x + 16) ÷ 8 = 76 ÷ 8

(x + 16) ÷ 8 = 9.5

x + 16 = 9.5 × 8

x = 76 -16

x = 60

So, the bill of food is 60
