Rosie and her 5 sisters had a party and evenly shared the cost. They spent $615 on food and $255 to rent the hall. The band played for 4 hours and charged them $150 per hour. How much did each sister contribute?

They contributed $294 each. I just added the cost: 4(hours) x $150+615+255=$1,470. Then, Ii divided it evenly between the 5 sisters, leaving $294 for each sister to pay! :)

Add everything to find out the total 615+255+150 (4) for four hours of band
615+255+ 600= 1470 there are 6 people so divide 1470 by 6
They each pitched in 245
