Minni 和另外 5 个女孩平摊买礼物的费用。在计算每人应分摊的金额时，Minni 犯了个错误，将礼物的总费用除以了 4 而不是 6。这导致每个女孩都比原本应付的份额多付了 $12。正确的每人应分摊金额应该是多少？ 答：$ ___

1. Express the correct and incorrect shares as fractions of the total cost and find their difference.

Total number of girls = $1 + 5 = 6$
Correct share = $\frac{1}{6}$ of total cost
Incorrect share = $\frac{1}{4}$ of total cost
Difference = $\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{12}$ of total cost

2. Use the given difference to find the correct amount for each share.

$\frac{1}{12}$ of total cost = $\char36{}12$
Correct share = $\frac{1}{6}$ of total cost = $\frac{2}{12}$ of total cost
Correct share = $2 \times \char36{}12 = \char36{}24$
