The amount each friend paid for food is $8. 50 for the food and $1. 50 for the tip.
<h3>What is division?</h3>
The division is one of the most basic mathematical operators. It is used when a number is to be distributed equally in n number of parts.
As it is given that the total of 4 friends went to the lunch, the total amount paid by them is $40, but the food bill was just $34, therefore, the rest of the amount was paid in the tip. If we calculate the tip,
Tip = Total spent - Food bill
Tip = $40 - $34
Tip = $6
Now, as it is that the total amount spend by all on the food is $34, and it is to be divided among the four friends, therefore, the amount paid by each of the friends is,
![\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\dfrac{\text{Total amount spent by all on food}}{\text{Number of friends}}\\\\\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\dfrac{\$34}{4}\\\\\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\$8.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20spent%20by%20all%20on%20food%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20friends%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5C%2434%7D%7B4%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5C%248.5)
Further, the total amount tip by all is $6, and it is to be divided among the four friends, therefore, the amount paid by each of the friends is,
![\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\dfrac{\text{Total Tip}}{\text{Number of friends}}\\\\\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\dfrac{\$6}{4}\\\\\text{Total amount to be paid by each friend}=\$1.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7BTotal%20Tip%7D%7D%7B%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20friends%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5C%246%7D%7B4%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BTotal%20amount%20to%20be%20paid%20by%20each%20friend%7D%3D%5C%241.5)
Hence, the amount each friend paid for food is $8. 50 for the food and $1.50 for the tip.
