Certainly! Let's break down the problem step-by-step.
1. Identify the known quantities:
- Number of people: 6
- Payment made by each person: [tex]$18
2. Set up a variable for the total check amount:
- Let's denote the total check amount as \( T \).
3. Create the equation:
- Since each of the 6 people paid $[/tex]18, the total check amount can be represented by the equation:
[tex]\[
T = 6 \times 18
\][/tex]
4. Solve the equation:
- Multiply the number of people by the payment per person to find the total check amount:
[tex]\[
T = 6 \times 18 = 108
\][/tex]
So, the total check amount is $108.
