Question

Responses

3s = 215.30
3 s = 215.30

5s = 215.40
5 s = 215.40

s + 5 = 215.40
s + 5 = 215.40

s5
= 215.40

Answer 1

To find the amount of money each person received from the total of $215.40, you need to divide the total amount by the number of people participating in the yard sale. Since Marsha, Nick, and 3 friends make a total of 5 people, the correct equation to find \( s \), the amount each person received, would be:

\[ 5s = 215.40 \]

So, the correct response is:

5s = 215.40
