Question

At a recent breakfast, four friends paid for their own drinks and shared the cost of a bag of donuts. Joe's drink was $1.75. He paid a total of $3.20 for breakfast. How much did the bag of donuts cost?

Answer 1

$5.80

Explanation:

To answer, we must first subtract the toal cost Joe paid by the amount he paid for his drink, because ha paid for his drink separately. so:

3.20 - 1.75 = 1.45

And because there were a total of 4 friends, we mulitply the answer by 4:

1.45 * 4 = 5.8

So, the bag of donuts costed $5.80

Hope this helps :)
