bearing in mind that an absolute value expression is in effect a piece-wise expression, because it has a ± version.

13.9/9.9
I do not know if this is correct, but give it a try.
Answer:
1) The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
2) The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.
These both answers are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 8 group of friends, and the total amount spent by them is $76 including the tip i.e $16.
If x is the food bill our equation can be:
(x+16)/8 = 76/8
Solving the equation
(x+16)/8 = 9.5
x+16= 9.5*8
x= 76 -16
x= 60
The food bill is x=60.
