Mary, Josephine, Quinn, Taylor, Max, and Taylor went out to lunch and the total bill was $72. Mary puts in $20 , and Josephine puts in $12. The rest of the group splits the bill equally. Which equation and solution represent the amount a that each of the remaining people pay?

i. The equation required =

ii. Remaining people would pay $10 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people involved = 6

Total bill of their lunch = $72

Mary and Josephine paid = $20 + $12

                              = $32

The remaining bill to be paid = $72 - $32

                              = $40

The rest of the group = 4

Splitting the remaining bill equally,

the equation required =

                                     =  ($40) ÷ 4

                                     = $

                                    = $10

The amount that each of the remaining people would pay is $10.
