Question

3. Represent and Connect Dana buys

snacks for herself and some friends. She
spends $14.50. She decides each friend
owes her $2.90. What assumption did
she make to decide the amount each
friend owes her?

Answer 1

Dana assumed an equal split of the total cost among her friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that Dana made to decide the amount each friend owes her is that she evenly split the total cost of snacks among her friends. Since Dana spent $14.50 and she has some friends who owe her, she divided the total cost by the number of friends to determine how much each friend owes. In this case, there are 5 friends (including Dana), so $14.50 divided by 5 equals $2.90.
