The total cost of dinner at a restaurant for Shelly and her 4 friends, was $98.60. If they divided the cost equally, how much did each person pay?

Respuesta :

Total cost = $98.60
Cost paid by each person = $98.60/5
= $19.72
Therefore each person paid $19.72

Answer: $24.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the solution can be obtained by a simple  basic operation called division.

Division is splitting into equal parts or groups.

It is the result of "fair sharing". We use the ÷ symbol, or sometimes the / symbol to mean divide.

In this case : $98.60 ÷ 4 = $24.65

So, each person paid $24.65 for the dinner.
