Mastery: 55\% Correct answers: 19/22 54472688 19/22 Joey and four of his friends went out to eat. They decided to split the bill evenly. Each person paid \( \$ 11.13 \). What was the total bill? Write an equation you could use to solve this equation. Use \( t \) as your variable. \( \mathrm{t} / 4=\$ 11.13 \) \( 5 \mathrm{t}=\$ 11.13 \) \( 4 t=\$ 11.13 \) \( \mathrm{t} / 5=\$ 11.13 \)

To determine the total bill that Joey and his four friends need to split, let's break down the problem step by step. ### Understanding the Problem: - **Total People Sharing the Bill:** Joey + 4 friends = **5 people** - **Amount Each Person Paid:** \$11.13 ### Setting Up the Equation: Let \( t \) represent the **total bill**. Since the bill is split **evenly** among 5 people, each person pays \( \frac{t}{5} \). So, the equation to represent this situation is: \[ \frac{t}{5} = \$11.13 \] ### Conclusion: Among the options provided, the correct equation is: \[ \mathbf{\frac{t}{5} = \$11.13} \] This equation accurately represents the scenario where the total bill \( t \) is divided by 5 people to find the amount each person pays. **Answer:** \[ \boxed{\frac{\mathrm{t}}{5}=\$ 11.13} \]
