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.
306 / 18 = 17
So he's on $17 / hour
$204 / $17 = 12.
Therefore he'd make $204 in 12 hours.
I think you’re right with 52.5
It should be the first answer choice between those two
