Either I'm a dolt or I have a right to get irritated with the math books I have.

 

My answer and the book's answer are different.

 

"Melissa shares equally the cost of a new fence with three other neighbors and the cost of road repair with two other neighbors. The fence cost $600 and the road repair cost $1,200. What is Melissa's share of the cost?"

 

a. $600 / 4 + $1,200 / 3

 

b. ($600 + $1,200) / 3 / 2

 

c. $600 / 3 + $1,200 / 2

 

d. ($600 + $1,200) / 5

 

Which is the correct expression?
