Fredrick manages a band and sings lead vocals. The band charges $700 per concert. Fredrick receives $175 of that money, and he shares the rest equally among the other 5 members of the band. How much money does each of the 5 band members receive per concert?

To determine how much money each of the other 5 band members receives per concert, let's break down the problem:

1. The total amount charged per concert is $700.
2. Fredrick receives $175 from the $700.

So, the remaining money after paying Fredrick is:

\[
700 - 175 = 525
\]

This remaining amount is shared equally among the 5 other band members. To find out how much each member receives, divide the remaining amount by 5:

\[
\frac{525}{5} = 105
\]

Thus, each of the 5 band members receives **$105** per concert.

Would you like any further clarification or details on this?

Here are five follow-up questions:
1. What if the band charges $900 per concert instead? How would each member's share change?
2. If the number of band members increased to 6 (excluding Fredrick), how much would each receive?
3. How much money in total do the 5 band members earn collectively per concert?
4. What percentage of the total concert fee does each band member (excluding Fredrick) receive?
5. How much more does Fredrick make compared to each of the other band members?

**Tip:** When dividing money among multiple people, always subtract any pre-determined shares first, then divide the remainder equally.

Learn how to calculate the amount each band member receives when Fredrick's band charges $700 per concert. Fredrick takes $175, and the remaining $525 is shared equally among 5 members. Each band member receives $105 per concert. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
