Question

Three friends order a pizza for $14, a two-liter bottle of soda for $2.75, and a bag of chips for $2.15 They want to evenly split the total cost. Determine how much each person owes.

Answer 1

$6.3

Explanation:

Given that:

There are 3 friends who have ordered some eatables.

Price of one pizza = $14

Price of two-liter soda bottle = $2.75

Price of a bag of chips = $2.15

The price of all the items is split evenly.

To find:

How much each person owes i.e. the amount of money each person will have to pay?

Solution:

First of all, let us find the total amount to be paid for all the three items.

Total amount to be paid = $14 + $2.75 + $2.15 = $18.9

Now, this total amount is evenly split i.e. equally divided in three parts.

Let us divide the total amount by 3.

Therefore, share of each friend =
`(\$18.9)/(3) = \bold{\$6.3}`
