Question

Six roommates buy a sofa for $650. If each roommate pays 16% of the price, will their total ammount be equal to the price of the sofa? If not, by what percent will their total differ from the price

Answer 1

Janae,

 

There are 6 roommates

 

Each pays 16% of price

 

So total % paid = 6*16 = 96%

 

Their total amount is not equal to the price of the sofa.

 

It is lower by 4% or 4*650/100 = $2.6
