If im correct and this is division you have to divide $21 dollars evenly among the 15 players therefore the answer is 1 remainder 6 meaning each drink has to cost 1 dollar for Tyrone to be able to pay for everyone. Keep in mind theres a remainder of 6.

so you could put

Each drink needs to cost 1 dollar for Tyrone to be able to pay for 15 drinks.

I HOPE THIS HELPS :)

In conclusion, each drink can cost $1.4 .
