Answer 1

To split the price of the computer evenly among four roommates, you would divide the total cost by the number of roommates.

The total cost of the computer is $299.

So, you would calculate:

\[ \text{Amount per roommate} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of roommates}} = \frac{299}{4} = 74.75 \]

Therefore, each roommate will pay $74.75.

So the answer is: 74.75
