Question

Two sisters purchased a car for 17698 if they each paid half how much money did they each pay

Answer 1

Answer: $8849

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that the total amount both sisters pay is $17698. They each pay for a fraction though. That fraction is 1/2 since they each pay for half. We multiply this fraction by the total which is 17698 to find our answer.

If there were three sisters and they each paid one-third, we would multiply the total price by 1/3 to find our answer.

Answer 2

Answer: $8,849

Step-by-step explanation: 17,698 divided by two people is 8,849, therefore each sister paid $8,849.
