Nine friends went to a restaurant for dinner and spent a total of $85. They agreed to split the bill evenly. How much should each friend pay for the dinner?

1 answer

To find out how much each friend should pay, you need to divide the total bill by the number of friends.

The total bill is $85 and there are 9 friends.

\[ \text{Amount each friend pays} = \frac{\text{Total Bill}}{\text{Number of Friends}} = \frac{85}{9} \approx 9.44 \]

So, each friend should pay approximately $9.44.
