three student share a townhouse their electric bill for october was 3.87 less than the september bill. the total of both bills is 237.75 and is split evenly how much did each owe in september

Sagot :

Answer: 40.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their September bill be x

Therefore, the October bill will be = x - 3.87.

Therefore, the addition of both bills will be:

x + (x - 3.87) = 237.75

x + x - 3.87 = 237.75

2x - 3.87 = 237.75

2x = 237.75 + 3.87

2x = 241.62

x = 241.62/2

x = 120.81

Therefore, September bill was 120.81

Since the 3 students share the bull equally, the amount owed by each will be:

= 120.81 / 3

= 40.27

Each person owes 40.27
