Question

You and 3 of your friends decide to sell lemonade around town, and then split the money you make evenly. You decide to sell each cup of lemonade for 50 cents. In total, you all sell 120 cups of lemonade. How much money will each of you earn? Write an expression for the problem too.

Expression:

Answer 1

$15

Explanation:

Each cup is 50 cents which is basically $0.50

Multiply $0.50 by 120= $60

Because you and your three friends equal 4 total people,

divide 60 by 4 to get your own profit:

60/4=15
