Question

Five women were giving a friend a baby shower. They decided they would split the cost of everything evenly. The cake cost $25.50 and the gift cost $125.00. They bought 3 packages of plates for $2.75 each and 2 boxes of forks for $1.25 each. How much will each woman spend on the shower?

Answer 1

32.25$ for each woman

Explanation:

total cost calculation

cost of plates = 3 * 2.75 =8. 25$

cost of forks = 2*1.25 = 2.50$

total cost = 125+25.50+8.25+2.5=. 161.25$

cost bore by each = 161.25/5 = 32.25$

Answer 2

Answer: $ 32.25 each
