Question

Natalia and her 4 friends want to share the cost of a meal equally. They order 3 large pizzas and 5 small drinks. If they leave a tip of $7.50, how much does each person pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total cost

3 large pizzas at $10 each

3*10=30

5 small drinks at $1.50 each

5*1.50=7.5

Tip

7.5

Add all the costs together

30+7.5+7.5=45

Now, find how much each person paid.  Divide the total cost by the number of people

total cost/people

The total cost is $45, and there are 5 people (Natalia and 4 friends)

45/5=9

Each person pays $9.00
