For friends are sharing a meal. they each agreed to pay 25% of the total cost. the meal costs $115. how much does each friend pay?

a: $26.15. c: $32.12

b: $28.75. d: $35.65

There are two ways to do this:

Way 1- Since you know there are 4 people and each will pay 25%, you know that every person will pay equally / the same amount so you can just do 115/4 and get $28.75 per person

Way 2- You can convert 25% into a decimal by multiplying it by 100 and getting 0.25 and multiplying 0.25 x 115 to get 25% of 115, which is what everyone will pay and you get B $28.75
