Question

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 split 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.

Answer 1

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

 

(x+16)/8 = 9.5

x+16= 9.5*8

x= 76 -16

x= 60

The food bill is x=60.
