Question

A group of 7 friends decides to rent a vacation house for a month. The monthly rent on the house is $2,275. Each friend pays an equal share of the cost. How much does each friend pay?

Answer 1

Each friend will pay $325.

Simply divide 2,275 by the total number of friends, 7, to get 325.
To check, we can multiply 325 by 7 and see that it does equal 2,275, meaning each of the seven friends will have an equal 325 of the rent.
