Answer 1

Answer:

D. $\frac{B}{6}=14.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent the total bill in dollars.

We have been given that last night, 6 friends went out to dinner at a restaurant. They split the bill evenly.

We can find the amount paid by each friend for the dinner by dividing B by 6.

$\text{Amount paid for dinner by each friend}=\frac{B}{6}$

As we are told that each friend paid $14.75, so upon equating this amount to our equation we will get,

$14.75=\frac{B}{6}$

Therefore, the equation $\frac{B}{6}=14.75$ can be used to find the total amount of bill in dollars and option D is the correct choice.
