Question

Describe a real world situation that can be represented by the quotient (-85) divided by 15.

Answer 1

Eating at a restaurant with 14 friends. Total bill is 85 (You ordered cheap) Assuming no tip (bad service) and no tax, and assuming each person pays the same amount, how much money will each of your friends lose?

Total cost = -85 (negative from our perspective, since we are losing money)
Number of people = 15

-85/15 = -5.67 (rounded)

Each person loses 5.67$

Answer 2

OK Thanks!
