Three students that share a townhouse find that their electric bill for October is $4.85 less than the September bill. The total of both bills is $268.45, and each bill is split evenly among the roommates. How much did each owe in September?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$45.55

Step-by-step explanation:

268.45=x+x-4.85

2x= 273.30

x= 136.65

136.65÷3=45.55

September is x and October is x-4.85

When you add 4.85 to 268.45 you get 2x=273.30.

273.30 is the amount of money payed in September x2.

273.30/2 is the amount of money paid in September.

136.65÷3 is $45.55. This is how much they payed in September.
