10 friends decided to buy a joint gift for their best friend. But as it happens, the two gave up and decided to buy her a present themselves. Thus, the remaining 8 friends had to add 50 dollars each to buy the gift.
How much did the gift cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

8 had to give an extra $50 each.

8 x 50 = 400

400 ÷ 2 ( the two that changed their mind) = 200

Each person was to give $200

10 × 200 = 2000
