Three friends go to the movies and split the total cost between them. The total cost is $13.05 for movie tickets and $10.26 for snacks.

Question

How much should each of them pay?

$7.77
$23.31
$8.77
$7.74

Answer 1

To find out how much each friend should pay, we need to first calculate the total cost of the movie tickets and snacks.

1. Total cost of movie tickets: $13.05
2. Total cost of snacks: $10.26

Now, we add these amounts together:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 13.05 + 10.26 = 23.31 \]

Now, we divide the total cost by the number of friends (3) to find out how much each should pay:

\[ \text{Amount per person} = \frac{23.31}{3} = 7.77 \]

Therefore, each of the three friends should pay $7.77.
