The amount each friend does pay is £9.75

How to calculate the pay of each friend using fractions and arithmetic operations?

We are going to find 5% of the total amount paid and divide it by the numbers of all the friends to determine the amount paid by each one of them.

From the given information:

  • The 5% of 130 = £6.5
  • Total amount paid = £130 + £6.5 = £136.5

Therefore, the cost of each friend is = [tex]\dfrac{136.5}{14}[/tex]

The cost of each friend = £9.75
