Nick is asking all his co-workers to chip in for a birthday gift for Sandra that costs $100. The boss agrees to contribute $15, and Todd volunteers to contribute twice as much since he always has to one-up everyone. If the remaining 5 employees (counting Nick) each pay an equal amount, how much do they each pay?
First find Todd's contribution by doubling the boss's contribution: $15 * 2 = $

<output>30</output>
30.
Now subtract Todd and the boss's contributions to find out how much still needs to be paid: $100 - $30 - $15 = $
<gadget id="calculator">100-30-15</gadget>
<output>55</output>
55.
Now divide the remaining cost by the number of employees to find the cost per employee: $55 / 5 employees = $
<gadget id="calculator">55/5</gadget>
<output>11</output>
11/employee.
