Question

Angela shared a cab with her friends. When they arrived at their destination, they evenly divided the $j fare among the 3 of them. Angela also paid a $5 tip.

How much did Angela pay in total?
Write your answer as an expression.

Answer 1

Total number of friends = 3

Let the fare be = $ J

As it is equally divided, each friend has to pay
`(J)/(3)` amount

Angela paid $5 additional as tip so her share is
`(J)/(3)+5`

Hence,Angela paid $
`(J)/(3)+5` in total.
