Answer 6

theres 6 friends total, if they share equally that means they each get the same amount of money so you know you have to divide. the total amount of money goes to each of them equally, so divide 167.88 / 6

Answer 7

$167.88, divided evenly between 6 people, that means you divide 167.88 / 6.

Therefore:

\(m = \dfrac{167.88}{6}\)
