Question

Rick and two friends share a large bag of popcorn which cost $6.25 and a large soda which cost $3.25. They divide the cost evenly. How much do they each pay?

Answer 1

Add the prices together
Then divide by 3.

*6.25 + 3.25 = 9.50/3 = 2 of them pay 3.16 while the other pays 3.17.

Answer 2

$6.25 + $3.25 = $9.5

9.5 / 3 = 3.17

answer: each pays $3.17
