Carmela has $7 and each of her four cousins has $2. How much will Carmela have to give to each of her cousins so that she and her cousins will have the same amount of money?
How much money do Carmela's four cousins have? ** Carmela's four cousins have a total of $2 x 4 = $<<2*4=8>>8.
How much money do Carmela and her cousins have together? ** The total money they all have is $7 + $8 = $<<7+8=15>>15.
How many people will be sharing the money? ** There will be 1 (Carmela) + 4 (cousins) = <<1+4=5>>5 people who will be sharing equally the money.
How much money will each of Carmela's cousins get? ** So each of them should get $15/5 = $<<15/5=3>>3.
How much money will Carmela have to give to each of her cousins? ** Hence, Carmela has to give a total of $7 - $3 = $<<7-3=4>>4 to her 4 cousins.
How much money will each of Carmela's cousins get? ** Therefore, each of her cousins will get $4/4 = $<<4/4=1>>1.
