write your answer as an expression.
$

Explanation:

Step1: Find Angela's share of the fare

The total fare is $j, and it's divided evenly among 3 people. So Angela's share of the fare is $\frac{j}{3}$.

Step2: Add the tip to her fare share

Angela also paid a $5 tip. So her total payment is the sum of her fare share and the tip, which is $\frac{j}{3}+5$.

Answer:

$\frac{j}{3} + 5$
