Question

carlos and his friends are thinking about taking a cab home. write a formula that will help him decide how much each friend would have to pay. lets say 
w= price per mile
 x=number of miles traveled 
y= number of friends in the cab 
z=cost of each friend

anonymous · Answer

z=wx/y That way it is the cost of each friend equals the number of miles traveled times price per mile ( which is the cost)then (so you know how much each friends pays) you divide by how many friends you have.
