Question

Four students each contribute $5 to buy a gift for their teacher. How much would each student pay if a fifth student also contributed?

Answer 1

Hi!

So we know that 4 students payed 5 dollars.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20

The gift costs 20 dollars.

So if 5 people paid,

20/5 = 4

Each student would have to pay $4.

Hope this helps! :)
