You have $9, one of your friends has $10, and two of your other friends each have $13. You combine your money to buy arcade tokens. You use a coupon to but 8 tokens for $1. The cost of the remaining token is four for $1. You and your friends share the tokens evenly. How many tokens does each person get?

I'm confused on how to get the total amount of tokens. I only know that the total amount of money they have. Do I multiply or divide?

Ms. Sue Ms. Sue answered

Together you have $45.

You buy 8 tokens for $1.00

You now have $44.

(44 * 4) + 8 = _____ tokens

To find the total number of tokens, you need to consider the cost of each token and the total amount of money you and your friends have. Let's break it down step by step:

1. Calculate the total amount of money you have:
You have $9, your friend has $10, and the other two friends each have $13.
Total amount of money = $9 + $10 + $13 + $13 = $45.

2. Calculate the cost of 8 tokens purchased with a coupon:
8 tokens for $1 means that each token costs $1/8 = $0.125.

3. Calculate the cost of the remaining tokens:
The cost of four tokens for $1 means that each token costs $1/4 = $0.25.

4. Find the maximum number of tokens you can purchase with the available money:
Divide the total amount of money you have by the cost of one token:
$45 ÷ $0.125 = 360 tokens (purchased with a coupon).

5. Subtract the cost of tokens purchased with a coupon from the total amount of money:
$45 - $1 = $44.

6. Calculate the number of remaining tokens you can purchase:
Divide the remaining money by the cost of one token:
$44 ÷ $0.25 = 176 tokens.

7. Calculate the total number of tokens:
Add the tokens purchased with a coupon to the remaining tokens:
360 tokens + 176 tokens = 536 tokens.

8. Divide the total number of tokens by the number of people (including yourself):
Each person gets an equal number of tokens.
Therefore, divide the total number of tokens by 4 (you and your three friends):
536 tokens ÷ 4 people = 134 tokens per person.

Thus, each person, including yourself, would get 134 tokens.
