Explanation:

Eight friends purchase various supplies from a camping trip and share the total cost equally.

They spend $85.43 on food, $32.75 for water, and $239.66 on other items.

To find the total amount spent, add all the amounts

`85.43 + 32.75+239.66=357.84`

Total cost = $357.84

This amount is shared by 8 friends, so we divide the total cost by 8

`(357.84)/(8) =44.73`

Each person owe $44.73
