Question

let $f$ equal the price of food for each person. write an equation that represents the situation. $4(f + 3) = 62$ solve the equation to find $f$, the price of food for each person. $f = \boxed{}$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4(f+3)}{4} = \frac{62}{4}$
$f+3 = 15.5$

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

$f = 15.5 - 3$

Answer:

$f = 12.5$
