Question

1. josh and four of his friends had a car wash to earn some extra money. they split the profits, and josh got an extra $18 to repay his parents for the car wash supplies. if josh got $32, how much total money did they split among themselves?

Explanation:

Step1: Find Josh's share without the extra

Josh got $32 in total, with $18 being extra. So his share from the split is $32 - $18 = $14.

Step2: Find the number of people splitting

Josh and four friends, so 1 + 4 = 5 people.

Step3: Calculate total money split

Each person (from the split) got $14, and there are 5 people. So total money split is $14 × 5 = $70.

Answer:

\$70
