Question

HELP PLEASE

A group of roommates decide to split the cost of their groceries. If g is the amount spent on groceries and n is the number of roommates, the formula c = determines each person's share of the cost. If each person's share was $104.50 and 6 roommates live in the house, what was the cost of the groceries?

A. $627.00

B. $604.50

C. $574.16

D. $174.17

Answer 1

g is the amount spent on groceries
n is the number of roommates

So if each person's share was $104.50 and 6 roommates live in the house, we can safely assume it's 104.50*6 unless you left out the c formula from your question.

Answer 2

\[c={g \over n}\]

plug in c = 104.5 and n = 6 into the equation

Answer 3
