Problem 2 Easy

Four friends do yardwork for their neighbors over the weekend, earning $15, $20, $25, and $40, respectively. They decide to split their earnings equally among themselves. In total, how much will the friend who earned $40 give to the others?

  • A.

    $5

  • B.

    $10

  • C.

    $15

  • D.

    $20

  • E.

    $25

Answer:C

The friends earn $\left(15+20+25+40\right)=$100 in total. Since they decided to split their earnings equally, it follows that each person will get $\left(\frac{100}{4}\right)=$25. Since the friend who earned $40 will need to leave with $25, he will have to give $\left(40-25\right)=\boxed{\textbf{(C) }$15} to the others.
