Ashley and friends ate dinner at a restaurant together, and they split the bill evenly. If each person paid $\$14$ , how much was the total bill?

Possible Answers:

$\$70$

$\$66$

$\$72$

$\$64$

$\$70$

Explanation:

Let be the total bill.

Since there is a total of people, we can write the following equation:

$\frac{x}{5}=14$

To solve for , multiply both sides by .

$\frac{x}{5}\cdot5=14\cdot5$

x=70

The total bill cost $\$70$ .

To solve for , subtract both sides by :

x+5-5=12-5

x=7

To solve for , subtract from both sides.

x+12-12=27-12

x=15

Adam earned $\$15$ babysitting.

Example Question #85 : Algebra 1

Anna ran more miles than Nelson ran. If Anna ran miles, how many miles did Nelson run?

Possible Answers:

The miles that Nelson ran cannot be determined.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Let be the number of miles that Nelson ran.

Since we know that Anna ran more miles than Nelson did, we can write the following expression to tell us how many miles Anna ran in terms of :

x+12

Since we know that Anna ran a total of miles, we can then write the following equation:

x+12=77

x=65

Nelson ran miles.

Example Question #86 : Algebra 1

Steve has $\$87.12$ remaining after paying $\$7.89$ for a salad. How much money did Steve have before buying the salad?

Possible Answers:

$\$79.23$

$\$95.01$

$\$78.21$

$\$90.56$

Correct answer:

$\$95.01$

Explanation:

Let be the amount of money Steve had before he paid for the salad.

Since he spent $\$7.89$ , we can then write the following equation:

x-7.89=87.12

To solve for , add 7.89 to both sides.

x-7.89+7.89=87.12+7.89

x=95.01

Steve had $\$95.01$ before paying for the salad.

Since we know that each box costs $\$6$ , we can write the following equation:

6x=108

To solve for , divide both sides by .

$6x\div6=108\div6$

x=18

You can buy boxes of chocolate with $\$108$ .

Solve for :

$\frac{e}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$e=\frac{8}{3}$

$e=\frac{1}{2}$

$e=\frac{5}{3}$

$e=\frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$e=\frac{8}{3}$

Explanation:

To solve for , multiply both sides by .

$\frac{e}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{e}{4}\times4=\frac{2}{3}\times4$

$e=\frac{8}{3}$

$8y=\frac{2}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{1}{8}$

$y=\frac{1}{12}$

$y=\frac{16}{3}$

$y=\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$y=\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

To solve for , divide both sides by .

$8y=\frac{2}{3}$

$8y\div8=\frac{2}{3}\div8=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{8}$

$y=\frac{1}{12}$
