Question

Three friends go to the movies and split the total cost between them. The total cost is $13.05 for movie tickets and $10.26 for snacks.

How much should each of them pay?

$23.31
$8.77
$7.77
$7.74

Answer 1

Each of them should pay $7.77 because I added the total from the movie and the snack and got $23.31. Since there is three friends, I divided $23.31 by 3 and got $7.77. 

Answer 2

$7.77

Explanation:

It's quite simple, we add the total costs of snacks and movies and then divide it by 3.

• Total cost = Movies + Snacks = 13.05 + 10.26 = 23.31
• how much each should pay = 23.31/3 = 7.77
• Each friend should contribute $7.77
