Question

step by step

 

Answer 1

Hi Melissa, 

Step One: Reason

Here we have twelve neighbors who each contributed an equal amount of money. We can therefore assume that each person will also get back an equal amount of the total reward money.

Step Two: Solve

We must divide the total equally between the twelve people: 78,345/12=6528.75

∴Each neighbor gets $6528.75

Best,
