Question

Michael has 567 pennies, Jorge has 464 pennies, and Jamie has 661 pennies. If the pennies are shared equally by the 3 boys and 33 of their classmates, how much money will each classmate receive? ( please show me the steps)

Answer 1

Answer:

Everybody, including the three boys, will get 47 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add the number of pennies each of the boys has, 567+464+661 = 1,692. Then you take the 1,692 and divide it by 36 to get 47. You divide by 36 because the pennies are getting shared by the 3 boys and 33 classmates, which comes out to be 36 classmates in total.
