Answer: $15.00 per person.
______________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________
Given that there are "4 people" (that is, "Kianna and three friends");
____________________________________________________
and a total of "$58.49" ; to be divided equally among 4 (four) people;
______________________________
we are asked to estimate the amount that EACH person will pay.
______________________________
For an ESTIMATE, $58.49 is ABOUT $60.00; or "60 dollars". ;

and (60 dollars) / 4 = 15 dollars {$15; or $15.00}.

60/4 = 15; or 60/4 = (60÷2)/(4÷2) = 30/2 = 15.
