You and 3 friends order a pizza, 4 large drinks, and a loaf of cheese bread.
You split the cost evenly with your friends.
What order of operations would you use to find out
How much should each person pay?
multiplication (because 4 drinks)
addition - add up all the costs
division - to find each person's share of the total
To find out how much each person should pay, you can use the following order of operations:
1. Start by calculating the total cost of the pizza, drinks, and cheese bread.
2. Divide the total cost by the number of people (in this case, 4 friends) to find the amount each person should contribute.
Let's go through the calculation step by step:
1. Calculate the total cost:
- Let's say the pizza costs $12, each large drink costs $3, and the loaf of cheese bread costs $5.
- Multiply the cost of the pizza ($12) by the quantity (1) to find the total cost of the pizzas: $12 x 1 = $12
- Multiply the cost of each large drink ($3) by the quantity (4) to find the total cost of the drinks: $3 x 4 = $12
- Add the cost of the cheese bread ($5) to the total: $12 + $12 + $5 = $29
- So, the total cost of the pizza, drinks, and cheese bread is $29.
2. Divide the total cost by the number of people (4) to find the amount each person should contribute:
- Divide the total cost ($29) by the number of people (4): $29 / 4 = $7.25 (rounded to two decimal places)
- Each person should contribute $7.25 towards the order.
Therefore, each person should pay $7.25.
To find out how much each person should pay, you need to divide the total cost by the number of people. Here's the order of operations to follow:
1. Add up the cost of the pizza, drinks, and cheese bread.
2. Divide the total cost by the number of people.
Let's assume the total cost of the order is $60, and there are 4 people in your group. Here's how you can calculate how much each person should pay:
1. Add up the cost:
- Let's say the pizza costs $20.
- The drinks cost $12 in total.
- The cheese bread costs $5.
- Total = $20 (pizza) + $12 (drinks) + $5 (cheese bread) = $37.
2. Divide the total cost by the number of people:
- $37 (total cost) / 4 (number of people) = $9.25.
Therefore, each person should pay $9.25.
1 drink + Pizza / 4 + Cheese / 4 divide first, then add
or
(4* drink + Pizza + Cheeze) /4
do inside ( ) first
do 4*dink
add to get result of terms in ( )
then divide by 4
