Question

What’s the expression

Answer 1

Answer: 5 + j/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the fare equally

Since they shared the j fare evenly among 3 people, you would divide the j fare by 3 to get j/3

So each person, including Angela, paid j/3 dollars before the tip

Adding the tip

Angela then added 5 dollars to this j/3 so the expression would become 5 + j/3

Final Answer

Angela paid $5 + j/3

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

Answer 2

The total fare is denoted by the variable j.  If there were 3 passengers that divided the fare evenly, they each paid j divided by 3, or j/3 for the cab.  Since Angela paid an additional 5 dollars as a tip, she paid j/3 + 5.

Answer:

j/3 + 5 dollars
