Four family went out for dinner. the total food bill came to $327. the families also left $50 tip for the waiter. if each family spent the same amount, about how much did each family spend on dinner? explain how you found your answer.

So first you add 327 and 50
You get 377
And then you divide 377 by 4
You then get 94.25
So each family spends $94.25

Let x be the amount each member spent.
There are 4 people so 4x.

4x=327+50

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x=327+50
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x=327+50
Simplify:
4x=377
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=377/4
x=377/4

x=377/4

Which is the same as $94.25
