Q. After their middle school graduation, Justin and his friends went to Padello Pizzeria to celebrate. After sharing a large pepperoni pizza, the 4 friends split the bill evenly. Each friend paid $12.56. Let c represent the total cost of the bill. Which equation models the problem?Choices:A)4c=12.56B)4c=12.56Solve this equation to find the total cost of the bill.$____
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and choose the correct equation.Each friend paid $12.56, and there are 4 friends. We need to find the total cost, c. The correct equation to model this situation is 4c=12.56, where c is the total cost of the pizza.
Choose the correct equation: Step 2: Solve the equation for c. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate c. 4c×4=12.56×4c=50.24
