Question

Three friends ate lunch at a restaurant. Their friend Reggie arrived late
and only ordered a glass of juice. The total bill was $39.50 before taxes.
Reggie paid $2 for his juice, and the others divided the remaining
amount equally. How much did each of Reggie's three friends pay?

Answer 1

Each friend paid $13.16

Answer 2

Each of the 3 friends paid $12.50 each. First you subtract the $2 from the total which is $39.50 and that gives you $37.50. Then you divide the $37.50 by the 3 friends and that gives you the $12.50 that each friend paid.

~Good luck!
