Today, 6 friends went out for lunch. Their total bill was $27.60, including tax and gratuity. They decided to split the bill equally and each paid with a $10 bill. How much money will each person get back?

Step-by-step explanation:

Right, okay, so this is a bit of a weird one. Let's go step by step.

"Today, 6 friends went out for lunch." = The number 6 is gonna be in our equation somewhere.

"Their total bill was $27.60" = so is the number 27.6

"They decided to split the bill equally" = 27.6 "split equally" (aka divided by) 6 friends is 4.6

"each paid with a $10 bill" = This is where it gets a lil weird. So, if they divided the bill among them, none of their amounts are gonna be anywhere near ten dollars. This is one of those questions that wouldn't really happen in real life. People would probably use fives instead, but whatever. So a number we'll be using for something is 10.

"How much money will each person get back?" = So we have to find the amount they all paid (10) minus the amount each one had to pay (4.6).

To put it all into a full equation...

10 - ( 27.6 / 6 )

Divide.

10 - 4.6

Subtract.

5.4

Put back into money form.

$5.60

Each person will get back $5.60.

if each paid a $10 bill, in total they paid $60 (cuz 10 x 6)

60 - 27.60 = 32.4

32.4/6 = 5.4 (divide the change between 6 people)

Each person will get $5.40 back.

hope it helps :)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
