Question:
Four friend shared the cost of a birthday gift equally. When calculating the amount for each share, one of the friends made a mistake by dividing the cost of the gift by 3 instead of 4. Each friend ended up paying $2.80 more than the correct share. What should be the correct amount of each share?
