Question

Manny owes the store $35 for candy he purchased. Each of his 5 friends will help pay off his debt. How much of the debt will each person have to pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$35÷5

=7

So each of his friend will pay $7

Answer 2

Answer:

Since the question says that each of his 5 friends will HELP him pay off the debt, it means that Manny will also pay an amount. If each person includes Manny, the debt each person has to pay is 35÷6 = $5.9 maybe
