Question

Angela shared a cab with her friends. When they arrived at their destination, they evenly divided the $j fare among the 3 of them. Angela also paid a $5 tip.
How much did Angela pay in total?
Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

j/3+5

explanation:

J is divided by 3 then you add 5

Answer 2

Total number of friends = 3

Let the fare be = $ J

As it is equally divided, each friend has to pay $\frac{J}{3}$ amount

Angela paid $5 additional as tip so her share is $\frac{J}{3}+5$

Hence,Angela paid $$\frac{J}{3}+5$ in total.
