To find out how much money each group will get, you need to divide the total amount of money collected by the number of groups that will receive the money.
Marcus and his 3 friends collected a total of $1,548 for charity. They plan to give an equal amount of money to 18 different groups.
So you would do the calculation:
$1,548 ÷ 18 = ?
Let's divide 1548 by 18:
18 goes into 154 8 times (18 * 8 = 144), with a remainder of 10. Carry down the 8 (from 1548), so you have 108.
18 goes into 108 exactly 6 times (18 * 6 = 108), with a remainder of 0.
So, 1548 ÷ 18 = 86
Therefore, each group will receive $8
