Question

A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves.
Which equations and solutions describe the situation? Select two options.
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = StartFraction 76 over 8 EndFraction represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = 76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
The solution x = 60 represents the total food bill.
The solution x = 60 represents each friend’s share of the food bill and tip.
The equation 8 (x + 16) = 76 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each Person:

-In tips: $2

-Food Bill: $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the tip amount for each person. $16 for the whole group. Each person will give in $2 for the tips, for a total of $16 in tips.

Now that tips are done, we must subtract the amount of tips from the food bill, to see how much each person pays. $76 - $16 = $60.

Divide 60 by 8 to get.. 60/8= 7.5.

With 7.5 as an answer, we can conclude that each person paid $7.50 for the food bill.

I see you need to select solutions, may I see them to help you out? The description is pretty vague..
