Answer:
1/4 of the cost
Step-by-step explanation:
Lisa, Taryn, and Catherine go to a store to buy party supplies. The store has a sale on the supplies they want for 3/4 the original price. The girls agree to each pay 1/3 of the cost. What fraction of the original price did each girl pay?
Discounted price = 3/4 the original price
Each girl agreed = 1/3 of the cost
Amount each girl paid = 3/4 * 1/3
= (3 * 1) / (4 * 3)
= 3 / 12
= 1/4 of the cost
Amount each girl paid = 1/4 of the cost
