Question

Five friends went to the zoo.

• Tickets cost $8.50 each.
• Each person purchased a drink for $3.50
• Three of the people had a discount coupon for $2.50 off the cost of admission,
• The friends split the total cost equally.
How much did each person spend?
А A
$10.13
B. $10.50
c С
$11.50
D
$12.00

Answer 1

B . 10.50

Why ? Because 8.50+3.50=12 , Then 12 × 5 = 60 , 2.50×3=7.5 , 60-7.5= 52.5 . divide 52.5 by 5 = 10.50 . So each friend paid 10.50
