Answer:

Each boy recieved $25.25 each

Explanation:

First, you add up all the money the 3 boys spent.

15+15+15=45

Then you add the sum of the equation to the amount all the boys had afterward.

45+30.75=75.75

Finally, you divide that product to 3 boys.

75.75/3=25.25

Therfore the answer is $25.25 each.
