Question

Nicole has nine dollars to spend on cards she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set once it cost $27 each friend gets the same number of cards how many cards does each friend get ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each Friend will get $\frac{x}{3}$ cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cards be x.

Given:

Amount Nicole used to spend on cards = $9

Total cost of one set =$27

Also, she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set.

So, Number of friends she finds can be calculated by dividing the Cost of 1 set  with amount of money Nichole used to spend on cards.

Number of friends she finds = $\frac{27}{9} = 3$

Hence she finds 2 friends and 1 is nichole hence there are 3 persons carrying $9 to buy $27 set of card

Now, Number of cards each friend gets is equal to Total number of Cards in 1 set divided by number of people.

Number of cards each friend = $\frac{x}{3}$

Hence Each Friend will get $\frac{x}{3}$ cards.
