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.

Sagot :

1) The scenario is represented by the equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8, where x is the food bill.

2) The total food bill is represented by the equation x=60.

Both of these responses are correct.

Step-by-step instructions:

Because there are eight buddies in the group, the total money spent by them is $76 (including the $16 tip).

Our equation can be as follows if x is the food bill:

76/8 = (x+16)/8

Solving the Problem

9.5 = (x+16)/8

9.5*8 Equals x+16

x=76 -16 x=76 -16 x=76 -16 x=

60 = x

The cost of food is x=60.
