So first you add 327 and 50
You get 377
And then you divide 377 by 4
You then get 94.25
So each family spends $94.25

Let x be the amount each member spent.
There are 4 people so 4x.

4x=327+50


Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x=327+50
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x=327+50
Simplify:
4x=377
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=377/4
x=377/4
Answer:
x=377/4

Which is the same as $94.25
