Question

Eight friends are traveling together to the

mountains. One of them said he would
pay for all of the gas if they would each
pay him back. The total money spent on
gas was $208.24. If they split the cost
evenly between the eight of them, how
much will each friend pay for the gas?

Answer 1

$26.03

Explanation:

When a quantity is split into 8 equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the whole.

1/8 × $208.24 = $26.03

Each friend pays $26.03.
