Answer:
3 people
Step-by-step explanation:
$51/$17 = 3 people
- We know to start with $51 dollars because that is the total price of the meal.
- We also know each meal costs $17.
- Next, ask youself what we are trying to find? We are trying to find how many people are eating.
- Therefore to find that we need to take our starting amount $51 divided by $17 because that is the cost of 1 meal.
- $51/$17 = 3 people (whole cost/individual cost = # of people)
- To check this take 3 x 17 = 51 (Now we know it is correct)
- If you would like a further explanation please let me know.
