Answer:

$17 on food per person

Explanation:

The cost of parking a car is $5

Assuming that the friends used one car, then the parking cost=$5

Admission cost is 19

For three people, Admission cost =19*3=57

TOTAl COSTS=Parking cost+Admission cost

TOTAl COSTS=57+5=62

Remaining amount can be used for food

FOOD= 113-62=51

Therefore each person can spend 51/3=$17 on food

I hope this was helpful and clear to follow
