Muffins are sold in packages of 18 and cost $27 per package. Each of 6 friends gets an equal share of muffins from p packages of muffins. Write an expression to represent how much each friend must pay.

27p/6

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

Cost per package = $27 (18 muffins)

Number of friends =6

So, to calculate how much each friend must pay if each one gets an equal share of muffins from p packages, we have to divide by the number friends (6) the product of the cost of each package (27) and the number of packages (p)

27p/ 6

For example if they buy one package:

27(1) /6= $4.4

Each one must pay $4.4

And since one package has 18 muffins, 18/6 = 3, each one gets 3 muffins.\
