Aimee and three of her friends find three quarters and one nickel on the ground. If Aimee and her friends share the money equally, how much will each person get? Explain how you found your answer.
Each person will get 20 cents
They will have to get change. Three quarters and one nickel = $.80/4 =?
To find out how much each person will get, you need to divide the total amount of money found by the number of people. In this case, Aimee and her three friends make a total of four people.
First, let's determine the value of the coins. A quarter is worth 25 cents, and a nickel is worth 5 cents. So three quarters would be 3 * 25 = 75 cents, and one nickel is 1 * 5 = 5 cents.
Now, we can calculate the total amount of money found by adding the values together: 75 cents + 5 cents = 80 cents.
Finally, divide the total amount of money (80 cents) by the number of people (4) to find out how much each person will get: 80 cents ÷ 4 = 20 cents.
Therefore, each person will get 20 cents.
