Question

select the correct answer.
shannon manages a crew of painters. a homeowner paid the crew $560 to paint a garage. shannon received $164 of the money, and she shared the rest equally among the other three members of her crew. how much money did each of the three crew members receive for the job?
a. $100
b. $112
c. $120
d. $132

Explanation:

Step1: Find the remaining money

The total payment is $560, and Shannon received $164. So the remaining money is $560 - $164 = $396.

Step2: Divide the remaining money among 3 members

We need to divide $396 equally among 3 members. So each member gets $396 ÷ 3 = $132. Wait, no, wait. Wait, the problem says "the other three members"? Wait, wait, let's re - read. Shannon manages a crew of painters. So total crew members: Shannon + 3 others? Wait, the problem says "she shared the rest equally among the other three members". So total payment is $560. Shannon got $164. So the rest is 560 - 164 = 396. Then divide 396 by 3 (the other three members). 396 ÷ 3 = 132? But wait, the options have D as $132? Wait, no, wait, maybe I misread. Wait, let's check again. Wait, maybe the crew is Shannon plus three others? Wait, the problem says "the other three members", so total people to share the rest: 3. So 560 - 164 = 396. 396 divided by 3 is 132. But let's check the options. Option D is $132. Wait, but let's do the calculation again. 560 - 164: 560 - 160 = 400, then - 4 = 396. 396 ÷ 3: 300 ÷ 3 = 100, 96 ÷ 3 = 32, so 100 + 32 = 132. So each of the three members gets $132.

Answer:

D. $132
