3 people decided to put a down payment on a car for 3500 dollars. How much money do they each have to pay, given that that they have to pay the same amount, and they cannot use any bills below $1? Choose the correct choice
A) $ 1166
B) $ 1168
C) $ 1166.6
D) $ 1167
E) none of the above

Rationale: to keep the amount exact when dividing for 3 , we have to work backwards through division . dividing 3500 by 3 will give us 1166.66 then by subtracting . 66 , we get 1166 , and we multiply it by 3 to get 3498 . to get enough for the down payment , we add 3 to 3498 . dividing the result by 3 gives us our answer . correct option : d
Answer: D
