My question is: Three friends went out to watch a movie. Mitch paid for their tickets at $7 each. On the other hand, Jam paid for the 2 boxes of popcorn at $1.5 while Jay paid for the 3 cups of milk tea at $3 each. If the three of them will split the total expenses, how much should each contribute? Your thoughts:
Three tickets cost $7 x 3 = $21. Two boxes of popcorn cost $1.5 x 2 = $3. Three cups of milk tea cost $3 x 3 = $9. The total expenses for the their tickets and food are $21 + $3 + $9 = $33. So, each of them should contribute $33 / 3 = $11. The final answer: 11.
