Answer 2

Explanation:

You first have to find 6% of 35. Which is 2.1 and so you then multiply 2.1×3 which is 6.3 and then subtract 6.3 from 35. 35-6.3 which is 28.7 and then divide that by 3. Which is essentially 9.6 if you round up the decimal. Otherwise it'd just be 9.566667. So, I'd say each is 9.6 or 10 if you're rounding for the nearest whole number.
