A group of 7 friends decides to rent a vacation house for a month. The monthly rent on the house is $2,275. Each friend pays an equal share of the cost. How much does each friend pay?
Simply divide 2,275 by the total number of friends, 7, to get 325. To check, we can multiply 325 by 7 and see that it does equal 2,275, meaning each of the seven friends will have an equal 325 of the rent.
