Answer 2

Answer:

A will receive $11.2

B will give $18.8  

C will give $6.8

D will receive $6.2

E will receive $8.2

Explanation:

Calculations are as follows:

a spent $41

b spent $11

c spent $23

d spent $36 and

e spent $38

Total Expense= $149

If expenses need to be divided equally, then the following share comes in every person's part.

$149/5= $29.8

So, a, b, c, d, e spent the above mentioned amount rather than $29.8

So following calculations will show who owes to whom.

a's share: $41-$29.8= $11.2         A will receive $11.2

b's share: $29.8-$11= $ 18.8        B will give $18.8  

c's share: $29.8-$23= $6.8         C will give $6.8

d's share: $36- $ 29.8=$6.2        D will receive $6.2

e's share: $38- $29.8= $ 8.2       E will receive $8.2
