Five of Lucy's friends decided to split the cost of a $130 birthday gift. Then a sixth and seventh friend decided they also want to help purchase the gift. About how much less will each of the first five friends have to spend now that two more friends are contributing to the cost of the gift?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$7.43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for what each of the 5 friends are paying:

130/5 = 26

Then, solve for what each person is paying with the addition of 2 people:

130/7 = 18.57

Last, subtract to find the answer:

26-18.57 = 7.43
