Question

Shannon manages a crew of painters. a homeowner paid the crew $560 to paint a garage. shannon received $164 of the money, and she shared the rest equally among the other three members of her crew. how much money did each of the three crew members receive for the job?

Answer 1

560 - 164 = 396
396 / 3 = 132....each of the 3 crew members received $ 132

Answer 2

Each of the three crew members received $132 for the job.

Explanation:

Total amount paid to Shannon = $560

Share received by Shannon = $164

So, money left for other 3 members =
`560-164=396` dollars

As Shannon shared the left money ($396) equally among the other three members of her crew, so each person got :

`(396)/(3)` = $132

Therefore, each of the three crew members received $132 for the job.
