Question

For a year, three friends earned $\$300$ a month together. At the end of the year they divided the money evenly. How much money did each friend earn for the year?

• A. $100
• B. $400
• C. $1200

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1200

First figure out how much money they made together in a year: $\$300\times 12=\$3600$

Amount of money each friend earn for the year
$=\frac{\text{total money earned in a year}}{\text{number of friends}}$

$=\$3600÷3=\$1200$
Each friend made $1200.
