Four family went out for dinner. The total food bill came to $327. The families also left $50 tip for the waiter. If each family spent the same amount, about how much did each family spend on dinner? Explain how you found your answer.
Let x be the amount each member spent. There are 4 people so 4x.
4x=327+50
Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 4x=327+50 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 4x=327+50 Simplify: 4x=377 Step 2: Divide both sides by 4. 4x/4=377/4 x=377/4 Answer: x=377/4
