Question 823675: a lunch check was to be divided equally among 8 people. However, one person said that he had forgotten to bring any money so the other 7 people had to pay an additional $0.8. Find the total amount of the check Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the total of 7 people paying the additional $.80, and that is the payment
of each person.
7 x 0.80
= $5.60 {multiplied}
Each person should have paid $5.60
There were originally 8 people that were going to pay.
8 x $5.60 {number of people multiplied by price per person}
= $44.80 {multiplied}
