A group of friends are going ice skating. The price of admission is $3.25. As a group, they spent $14 on refreshments. If they spent a total of $30.25 on admission and refreshments, how many friends went ice skating?

First subtract the $14 spent on refreshments from the $30.25 total: $30.25 − $14 = $16.25 spent on admission. Divide that by the $3.25 admission price per friend: $16.25 ÷ $3.25 = 5. So, 5 friends went ice skating, which is choice B.
