Seven boys hire DVD's and each pays R5,50

I assume R 5.50 ( R to be the currency)

also assuming that they dont hire any more DVDs

total amount paid by 7 boys

= 5.50 × 7

= 38.5

when 4 more friends join the amount should get divided by 11 ( 7 + 4 )

so each has to pay an amount of 38.5 / 11 = 3.5

I think my assumptions here were correct

if not

let me know :)
