Answer 2

The expression to represent the amount each friend must pay is $\dfrac{27 \times p}{6}$.

Given that,

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.

We have to determine,

Write an expression to represent how much each friend must pay.

According to the questions,

Cost of package = $27 (18 muffins),

Number of friends p = 6

To calculate how much each friend must pay if each one gets an equal share of muffins from p packages, divide by the number of friends.

The product of the cost of each package (27) and the number of packages (p), the equation can be written as,

$= \dfrac{27 \times p}{6}$

Here, The number of the package is p = 1

Then, The amount each friend must pay,

$= \dfrac{27 \times 1}{6}\\\\= 4.5$

Each friend must pay $4.5.

And since one package has 18 muffins,

$= \dfrac{18}{6}\\\\= 3$

Each one gets 3 muffins.

Hence, The required expression to represent the amount each friend must pay is $\dfrac{27 \times p}{6}$.
