Question

Jesse and three friends buy snacks for a hike. They buy trail mix for $5.42, apples for $2.55, and granola bars for $3.99. If the four friends split up the cost of the snacks equally, how much should each friend pay?

Answer 1

2.99 because you add the total cost up, which would be 11.96. So then you would divide 11.96 by 2.99 which gives you 2.99

Answer 2

Add all the numbers up which equals up to 11.96. Then divide 11.96 into 4. it equals 2.99 so each friend is gonna pay 2.99
