Four friends split a $31.76 dinner bill equally. How much should each friend pay?

1. Divide the total bill by the number of friends: 31.76 divided by 4. 2. Place the decimal point in the answer directly above the decimal point in 31.76. 3. Dividing 3176 by 4 as whole numbers gives 794. 4. Placing the decimal point back gives 7.94, so each friend should pay $7.94. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Decimals", section 5.2 Decimal Operations_
