To find the cost of the dinner, we first need to determine the total amount paid by Will, Micah, and Sue.
Since Will paid 1/3 of the bill, Micah and Sue together paid the remaining 2/3.
Let's represent the total amount paid by Micah and Sue as 2x and 5x, respectively.
Since Sue paid $6 more than Will, we can set up the equation:
5x = (1/3) * Total + 6
Now, we can solve for x:
5x = (1/3) * Total + 6 5x - 6 = (1/3) * Total 15x - 18 = Total
Now, we know that the total amount paid by Micah and Sue is 2x + 5x = 7x.
So, we substitute the expression for the total amount into the equation:
15x - 18 = 7x
Now, we solve for x:
15x - 7x = 18 8x = 18 x = 18 / 8 x = 2.25
Now that we know the value of x, we can find the total cost of the dinner:
Total = 15x - 18 Total = 15 * 2.25 - 18 Total = 33.75 - 18 Total = $15.75
Therefore, the dinner cost $15.75.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
