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 spli
t 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.
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = StartFraction 76 over 8 EndFraction represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
The solution x = 60 represents the total food bill.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
The food bill (x) plus the tip (16) ;divided by the number of friends (8) , must be equal to the total amount spent (76) divided by the number of friends (8):
Mathematically speaking:
(x+16) /8 = 76/8
(x+16) /8 = 9.5
(x+16) = 9.5 (8)
x+16 = 76
x = 76-16
x= 60 (food bill)
So, the correct options are:
The equation StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction (x + 16) = StartFraction 76 over 8 EndFraction represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
(1/8 (x+16) =76/8)
The solution x = 60 represents the total food bill.
