Question

Six friends are sharing $92. They keep a record of what they do. First, they split up the $10 bills.

Select one:
a. Each gets $15
b. Each gets $12
c. Each gets $20
d. Each gets $18

Answer 1

After dividing $92 by six friends, each friend would get $15 from splitting the $10 bills, with $2 left over that cannot be split into $10 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is asking how $92 should be split among six friends. To solve this, we divide the total amount of money by the number of friends:

• 92 ÷ 6 = 15 × 6 + (92 - 15 × 6)
• 92 ÷ 6 = 15 × 6 + 2
• 92 ÷ 6 = 90 + 2
• 92 ÷ 6 = 15 with a remainder of 2

Each friend gets $15 and $2 is left over. However, as the question specifies that only $10 bills are split, each friend receives $15 with the remainder unable to be split into $10 bills.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Each gets $15.
