The cost of the food bill is $60 and the equation that best describe the situation is (x + 16)/8 = 76/8.

Which equations and solutions describe the situation?

Given that;

  • 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.
  • Let x be the food bill.

If x is the food bill, then;

food bill + tip = $76

x + $16 = $76

Since they decided to split the bill and tip evenly among themselves

(x + 16)/8 = 76/8

We can solve for the food bill 'x'

(x + 16)/8 = 76/8

(x + 16)/8 = 9.5

(x + 16) = 9.5 × 8

x + 16 = 76

x = 76 - 16

x = 60

Therefore, the cost of the food bill is $60 and the equation that best describe the situation is (x + 16)/8 = 76/8.
