Question

You and your friend have agreed to do a job which pays $200 total. If you and your friend together complete 1/4 of the overall job, how much should you and your friend each receive?

Answer 1

They will receive $25 each.

There are two ways of solving.

1: To solve, you can divide $200 by 2 since there is you and your friend. That will be $100. After that, divide by 1/4. Which means 100/4. Then, your answer is $25.

2: To solve, divide 1/4 by 200. It is 50. Finally, divide by 2 since there is you and your friend. The answer would be $25.

In whichever way you do it, the answer is correct.

Answer 2

If you and your friend are splitting a 200 dollar job, the answer would be 25$

Explanation:

So, divide 200 by 4

You will get 50

Then divide 50 by 2

This gives you the answer of 25

So each friend will get 25 dollars for completing 1/4th of the job

Hope this is correct and helps!
