Question

A small family-owned business sets aside $2,000 to be used for holiday bonuses. If there are 8 employees and the owners

give the same amount of money to each employee, how much does each employee receive?
A. O $25
B. O $200
C. © $250
D. O $1,992
E. O $16,000

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

If 2,000$ is to be given equally to 8 employees, dividing the 2,000$ by 8, gives you 250$. To confirm this answer, you would do 250$ × 8, which would equal the 2,000$.

You can also cut out answers D & E, due to them being too high, and answer A for leaving too much money left over. This leaves B & C, from there, just figure out which rounds up closer, or do the math.
