Answer:$9Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following:

Total price before any discount = $810

Total price with the discount = $729

Discount given = $810 - $729

Discount given = $81

Since each person in the group receives a student discount, the amount of discount per person is expressed as:

Amount of discount per person = Discount/Total number of friends

Amount of discount per person = $81/9

Amount of discount per person = $9

This shows that the discount price per person is $9
