Question

WILL GIVE BRAINELIEST

Three friends order a pizza for $14, a bottle of soda for $3 and a large piece of cake to share for $4. The friends want to evenly split the costs. How much does each friend owe? Use mathematics to justify your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total = $14+$3+$4

Total = $21

Each friend owe = $21/3

So, each friend owe $7

Answer 2

$7 each

Explanation:

Let's determine the total cost first to see how the friends can divide the cost.

The total cost is $21. 14 for a pizza, 3 for the soda, and 4 for the cake.

There are 3 friends and 21 goes evenly in 3. So 21 divided by 3 is $7 per person.
