Problem 2

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

First we average $15,20,25,40$ to get $25$. Thus, $40 - 25 = \boxed{\textbf{(C) }15.}$. ~~Spaced_Out
