Let x be the amount each friend pays .

There are five friends contributing ,so 5x will be the total money collected .

It needs to equal the price plus the tax, 210 + 15 = 225

So the equation becomes,

$5x = 210 + 15$

5x = 225

dividing right side by 5, we have

x = 225/5 = 45

Answer: So each frien pays $45.
