Question

29 students went for dinner at a party.

28 students plan to distribute the bill equally, and the remaining will be paid by the last student.
Find the amount paid by the last student.

• A. $11
• B. $13
• C. $15
• D. $21

Answer 1

The correct option is B $13

Total amount = $\$545$
Number of students who divided the amount equally = 28

Amount left to be paid by the last student is the remainder of 545 ÷ 28.

Using long division, we get:


Here,
Quotient = 19
Remainder = 13

$\therefore$ Each of the 28 students paid $\$19$, whereas the last student will have to pay $\$13$.
