15$ for the game and 5$ to spend for each of Jacobs friends

50-15=35 35/5=5 or I'm wrong?

Answer:

$5

Explanation:

Start by finding how much money Jacob has after buying a game for himself:

$50-$15=$35

Now, we have to divide $35 by 7 since he has 7 friends...

$35/7=$5

He can spend $5 on each friend
