3 people decided to put a down payment on a car for 3500 dollars. How much money do they each have to pay, given that that they have to pay the same amount, and they cannot use any bills below $1?
Answers:
A) $1166  B) $1168  C) $1166.6  D) $1167  E) None of the above
To keep the amount exact when dividing for 3, we have to work backwards through division.   Dividing 3500 by 3 will give us 1166.66   Then by subtracting .66, we get 1166, and we multiply it by 3 to get 3498.   To get enough for the down payment, we add 3 to 3498.   Dividing the result by 3 gives us our answer.   Correct Option: $1167
