A) Each person owes $2.71 for the pizza.
B) Each person owes $2.83 for the pizza.
C) Each person owes $2.95 for the pizza.
D) Each person owes $3.12 for the pizza.

Answer 1

Answer: $2.83

Step-by-step explanation: 16.95/6=2.825 (but you round up)

Answer 2

B) Each person owes $2.83 for the pizza.

Explanation:

Given,

The total cost of pizza = $ 16.95,

The number of persons = 6,

Hence, the amount that owes by each person =
`\frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Total persons}}`

`=(16.95)/(6)`

= $ 2.825

≈ $ 2.83

Therefore, OPTION B is correct.
