Answer: $12.28

Explanation:

Here's the complete question:

Three teachers bought prizes to put in a bin at school. Mrs. Maier spent $7.68 on stickers. Mr. Lang spent $11.52 on balloons. Mrs. Connor spent $17.64 on pencils. The teachers divided the cost evenly. How much did each teacher pay?

Cost of stickers = $7.68

Cost of balloons = $11.52

Cost of pencils = $17.64

Total spent = $7.68 + $11.52 + $17.64 = $36.84

The amount that each teacher will pay when the total cost is evenly shared will be:

= $36.84 / 3

= $12.28
