Five friends go out to dinner together. the meal comes to $90. each friend contributes the same amount of money to pay the bill. how much money does each friend contribute? use the five-step solving plan

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

1)First make the equation

x+x+x+x+x=90

2)Now rid of alike terms

5x=90

3)Now divide both sides by 5

x=18

4) Now check the answer

18+18+18+18+18=90

90=90

5) You've got the answer x=18

Hey there!!

Total cost - $90

... There are 5 people and everyone pays the same.

... Person + person + person + person + person = 90

... 5 ( person ) = 90

... person = 90 / 5

... person = 18

Hence, each person pays $18.
