Question

The 11 player on Steve's field hockey team contributed $5.50 each for the end of season barbeque. They spent 3/5 of the money on food and $10.45 on a gift for coach. The rest of the money was divided evenly among the player. How much did each player get back

Answer 1

S1) 5.50 x 11 = $60.50
S2) 60.50 x (3/5) = 36.30
S3) 60.50 -36.30 = 24.20
S4) 24.20 - 10 = 14.20
S5) 14.20 divided by 11 players = $1.29
Therefore each player gets $1.29 back in change
