Question

Four friends earn $ 24 washing cars and c dollars cutting grass. They want to divide the total amount into equal parts.

Answer 1

Answer:

$15.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to figure out the total amount they get.

This can be modeled by: 24+38=62

Now we need to divide that equally.

62/4=15.5

This means that each friend should get $15.50

Answer 2

Answer:

$15.50

Step-by-step explanation:

From washing cars, each friend should get $24/4, or $6.

From cutting grass, each friend should get $38/4, or $9.50.

Thus, each friend is due ($6 + $9.50), or $15.50.
