There are 37 people attending the Ruiz family reunion, and they want to split the cost of the present for the grandparents. If the gift costs $464.72, how much should each person contribute?
In your last post I agreed with your answer to divide.
Why did you post this again???
To determine how much each person should contribute, you need to divide the total cost of the gift by the number of people. In this case, the total cost of the gift is $464.72, and there are 37 people attending the reunion.
So, to calculate the contribution per person, you can use the formula:
Contribution per person = Total cost of the gift / Number of people
Contribution per person = $464.72 / 37
Calculating this, the contribution per person is approximately $12.55.
Therefore, each person should contribute around $12.55 for the gift.
