Problem

Four friends do yardwork for their neighbors over the weekend, earning $\$15, \$20, \$25,$ and $\$40,$ respectively. They decide to split their earnings equally among themselves. In total how much will the friend who earned $\$40$ give to the others?

$\textbf{(A) }\$5 \qquad \textbf{(B) }\$10 \qquad \textbf{(C) }\$15 \qquad \textbf{(D) }\$20 \qquad \textbf{(E) }\$25$

Solution

The friends earn $\$\left(15+20+25+40\right)=\$100$ in total. Since they decided to split their earnings equally, it follows that each person will get $\$\left(\frac{100}{4}\right)=\$25$. Since the friend who earned $\$40$ will need to leave with $\$25$, he will have to give $\$\left(40-25\right)=\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\$15}$ to the others.
