The total bill of a dinner party was 113.58. If each person paid 12.62 how many people attended the dinner party?

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If n is the number of people attending, we want the amount paid by each to add up to the total bill. That is ...

n * 12.62 = 113.58

This is solved by dividing both sides of the equation by 12.62, the coefficient of n. Doing that will make the coefficient n become 12.62/12.62 = 1.

113.58/12.62 = n = 9

9 people attended the dinner party.
