Two girls spent the same amount of money as five boys on a shopping trip. If the seven of them spent $2100 altogether, how much money did each boy spend?
Answer (2)
Each boy spent $210 on the shopping trip. This is based on the given relationships between the amounts spent by boys and girls, and solving the equations derived from the problem. The total amount spent was $2100 for all seven children combined.
;
the five boys spent 1/2 of the 2100 = 1050 dollars
each boy then spent 1/5 of this
1/5 * 1050 =** $210 each boy ** ;
