Question

7. Frieda and three of her friends decide to go

canoeing. They each rent a life preserver for
$12.75. They split the cost of the canoe. If each
person pays $23.75, how much did the canoe cost?​

Answer 1

95 since you would have to count Frieda plus her three friends and then 23.75 times 4 equals 95

Answer 2

44

Explanation:

12.75 * 4 = 51

23.75 * 4 = 95

95 - 51 = 44

You have to subtract the cost of the life preservers to get the cost of the canoe.
