Question

Tom divided $360 among his 5 children for them to use for Christmas gifts. His daughter Kate added $20 to her portion, then used the money to buy 8 gifts that each cost the same amount. What was the price of each of Kate's gifts?

Answer 1

$11.50

Explanation:

So, $360 divided to 5 kids

360 divided by 5

360/5=72

$72 was given to each child.

Kate added $20

72+20=92

Kate had $92

She bought 8 gifts that were all the same prices. So 92 divided into 8 gifts equally.

92/8=11.50

Each gift was $11.50
