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