Question

A group of 5 friends decides to rent a vacation house for a month. The monthly rent on the house is $2,250. If each friend pays an equal share of the cost, how much does each friend pay?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Total number number of people - 5

Total amount - $2250

Let's take the amount paid by each friend as ' x '

Then,

5x = 2250

... x = 2250 / 5

... x =  450

Hence, the amount paid by each person is $450

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

Each friend pays $2250/5 = $450 per month as a shared resident.
