Question

Nicole has nine dollars to spend on cards she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set once it cost $27 each friend gets the same number of cards how many cards does each friend get ?

Answer 1

Each Friend will get
`(x)/(3)` cards.

Explanation:

Let the number of cards be x.

Given:

Amount Nicole used to spend on cards = $9

Total cost of one set =$27

Also, she finds friends with the same amount of money to split the cost of a set.

So, Number of friends she finds can be calculated by dividing the Cost of 1 set with amount of money Nichole used to spend on cards.

Number of friends she finds =
`(27)/(9) = 3`

Hence she finds 2 friends and 1 is nichole hence there are 3 persons carrying $9 to buy $27 set of card

Now, Number of cards each friend gets is equal to Total number of Cards in 1 set divided by number of people.

Number of cards each friend =
`(x)/(3)`

Hence Each Friend will get
`(x)/(3)` cards.
