Five friends share the cost of dinner equally. The bill is d dollars. Translate the words into an algebraic expression.
The algebraic expression for this scenario is $\frac{d}{5}$
wrong try again
Let the equal cost that each friend pays be represented by the variable $x$. Since there are five friends sharing the cost equally, the total cost of the dinner is $5x$.
incorrect try again
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.
Since the bill is shared equally among five friends, each friend pays $\frac{1}{5}$ of the total bill. Therefore, the algebraic expression for this scenario is $\frac{1}{5}d$.
