    Answer: 27p/6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    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.

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
