Question

Hannah, Michelle, Candace, and Tabitha are selling candy for a school fundraiser. Hannah raised $428, Michelle raised $496, Candace raised $584, and Tabitha raised $560. They decided to combine the money they raised and divide it evenly between the four of them. How much money would each of them get credit for?

Answer 1

Answer: $517

Explanation:

Amount raised by Hannah = $428

Amount raised by Michelle = $496

Amount raised by Candace = $584

Amount raised by Tabitha = $560

Total amount raised = $2068

Since the four of them are dividing it evenly, the amount that each person will get credit for will be:

= Total amount raised / Total number of people

= $2068 / 4

= $517

Each person gets $517
