Question

Angela shared a cab with her friends. When they arrived at their destination, they evenly divided the \$j$jdollar sign, j fare among the 333 of them. Angela also paid a \$5$5dollar sign, 5 tip. How much did Angela pay in total?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\ (\frac{j+15}{3} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

There were three friends and the total fare was $j

Each of the friends pays $\ (\frac{j}{3} )$ for their cab fare.

Since Angela also paid a $5 Tip

Total Amount Paid by Angela = Share of cab fare + Tip

$\ (\frac{j}{3} ) + \ 5$

We can simplify this further by taking the LCM.

$\ (\frac{j}{3} ) + \ 5=\ (\frac{j+15}{3} )$

The total amount paid by Angela therefore is :$\ (\frac{j+15}{3} )$
