Question

You and 2 friends have a job washing cars. You split the money you make so that you each get the same amount. On the first day, the earnings are $75. On the second day, the earnings are $84. On the third day, the earnings are $105. How much money will you each get for those 3 days?

A) $52
B) $70
C) $86
D) $88

Answer 1

To find out how much each person makes, you add the earnings for the three days ($75 + $84 + $105 = $264) and divide by three. Each person will receive $88.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much money you and each of your friends will get from the car washing job over the three days, you need to first calculate the total earnings and then divide that amount by three (since there are three of you sharing the earnings equally).

The total earnings for the three days are:

• First day: $75
• Second day: $84
• Third day: $105

Adding these amounts together gives:

$75 + $84 + $105 = $264

Now, divide the total earnings by three to find out how much each person gets:

$264 ÷ 3 = $88

So, each person will receive $88 for the three days' work.
