Question

at the bake sale the students earned $48.76. If there were 3 students, how much did each student earn?

Answer 1

All we need to do to answer this is divide the amount they made by 3 (the number of students).

48.75 ÷ 3 = 16.25

Check:- 
 
16.25 × 3 = 48.75

So, each student out of the 3 get $16.25 at the bake sale.

Hope I helped ya!! 

Answer 2

Assuming each student was given equal compensation, take 48.76/3 = $16.25
