Answer 2

Answer: Each friend pays $450

Explanation:

Given: A group of 5 friends decides to rent a vacation house for a month.

i.e. The number of friends = 5

The monthly rent on the house = $ 2,250

If each friend pays an equal share of the cost, then to find the amount paid by each friend we divide the total amount by 5.

The amount paid by each friend would be :-

`A=(\$2250)/(5)=\$450`

Hence, Each friend pays $450.
