Jessica has 5 bills coming up. If the first bill is 110.65 and the following four are 174.62 how much could she pay extra on the first one to make them all equal?

Just add up them all to get the total, take the average, and then get the difference from the first bill.
(110.65 + 4*174.62)/5 - 110.65 = 51.176
So, if she adds $51.18 to the first bill, they will all be
110.65 + 51.18 = 161.83

check:
161.83 * 5 = 809.15
110.65 + 4*174.62 = 809.13
So, she'll end up paying an extra 2 cents after roundoff error.
