Question

A group of 8 students purchase 4 pizzas at $5 each, 2 orders of breadsticks at $2 each, and 8 drinks at $1.50 each. How much does each student owe before tax?

Answer 1

`((4*5)+(2*2)+(8*1.5))/8 = 36-:8 = $4.5`

Explanation:

Basically it's just an order of operations problem. 8 people buy stuff and they pay equally so you just need to add up what they buy and divide it by 8 (the number of buyers).

Fraction is just another way of saying division.
